+### Name collisions
+In some cases, there may be a name collision when writing a recipe. For example the
+[wget](recipes/wget) recipe is for the standard command-line tool. There is
+also a Python package called `wget` [on
+PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wget). In this case, we prefixed the Python
+package with `python-` (see [python-wget](recipes/python-wget)). A similiar
+collision was resolved with [weblogo](recipes/weblogo) and
+[python-weblogo](recipes/python-weblogo).
+
+If in doubt about how to handle a naming collision, please submit an issue.
