The Pillow… acronym?

[aclark4life]

At this Pillow demo talk I gave recently the host Jacob asked "What does Pillow stand for"? And I said "nothing" because it currently does not stand for anything. It was chosen due to it's similarity to the PIL acronym. At the time, I just needed another name that was close to the acronym PIL.

Then I started thinking "If it were an acronym, what would it stand for?" The first thing I thought of was: The "Python Imaging Library Lives On Well". That's OK but not great, so I asked ChatGPT and I got some interesting ideas. Of these, I have a favorite, but what do you think?

Should Pillow stand for something?

I vote for the missing option: "no, keep the word" :)

Right! If Discussions supported multiple poll questions I would have started with "Yes" or "No" …

I didn't actually know discussions had polls before, so TIL :)

I don't really like Discussions, but I couldn't bring myself to open an Issue regarding this topic 😂
