 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
