Introduction
------------
The fork author's goal is to foster active development of PIL through:
- Publicized development activity
- Solicitation for community contributions
- Continuous integration testing via Travis-CI
- Publicized development activity on GitHub
- Regular releases to the Python Packaging Index
- Solicitation for community contributions and involvement on Imaging-SIG
