So, how do you get people to know about and use your package?
Well, that's why I asked the Debian package maintainer first. He
pointed me here. He wasn't exactly clear, but he seemed interested in
Pillow as the source of a Python 3 port specifically because it's
under active development. He didn't sound interested in a replacement
for PIL under Python 2. If we can make it attractive to Debian as the
official Python 3 version of PIL, I think that's a big step forward.
That would be extremely helpful, especially if the package is identified as "PIL
replacement for Python 3" or some such, so that people looking for PIL can find it.
From what I'm hearing, it seems to me the sensible plan is to combine
the previous Python 3 ports (counting Hajime's, that's three I've
found) on top of current Pillow, and drop support for Python 2.5 and
older. I'll get started.
From what I read of Pillow, they aren't really interested in maintaining a copy
of PIL. Do you mean to fork Pillow, or try to persuade them to let you help
maintain it?
