 The fork author's goal is to foster active development of PIL through:
 
-- 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

 Porting your PIL code to Pillow
 -------------------------------
 
 .. Note:: PIL and Pillow currently cannot co-exist in the same environment. If you want to use Pillow, please remove PIL first.
 
-Pillow is a functional drop-in replacement for the Python Imaging Library. To run your existing PIL-compatible code with Pillow, it needs to be modified to import the ``Imaging`` module from the **PIL namespace instead of the global namespace**. I.e. change::
