[Image-SIG] What are plans for PIL / NumPy / Engelmann?

[Edward C. Jones]

What are the development plans for PIL and its relationship to
SWIG, NumPy, and the work by Engelmann? Suppose I write in C some
image processing routine which works with one of the standard
2-dim C arrays. Is there a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for
integrating my routine with PIL and/or NumPy? Are the irritating
inconsistencies in PIL, at both the user and code levels, going
to be FIXUPed?
