 <p>Pillow is the "friendly" PIL fork, created by Alex Clark. PIL is the Python Imaging Library, created by Fredrik Lundh.</p>
 
-<h2>Introduction</h2>
-
-<p>The fork author's goal is to foster active development of PIL through:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Publicized development activity</li>
-<li>Solicitation for community contributions</li>
-<li>Regular releases to the Python Packaging Index</li>
-</ul><h2>Why a fork?</h2>
-
-<p>PIL is not setuptools compatible. Please see <a href="http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2010-August/006480.html">http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2010-August/006480.html</a> for a more detailed explanation. Also, PIL's current bi-yearly (or greater) release schedule is too slow to address the large number of issues regularly reported.</p>
-
-<h2>What about image code bugs?</h2>
-
-<p>Please report any non-packaging related issues here first:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>
-<a href="https://bitbucket.org/effbot/pil-2009-raclette/issues">https://bitbucket.org/effbot/pil-2009-raclette/issues</a> </li>
-</ul><p>Then open a ticket here:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li><a href="https://github.com/python-imaging/Pillow/issues">https://github.com/python-imaging/Pillow/issues</a></li>
-</ul><p>and provide a link to the first ticket so we can track the issue(s) upstream.</p>
-
-<h2>Documentation</h2>
-
-<p>The API documentation included with PIL has been converted (from HTML) to
-reStructured text (via pandoc) and is now <code>hosted by readthedocs.org &lt;http://pillow.readthedocs.org&gt;</code>_.</p>
