+Frequently asked questions
+**************************
+
+Why is it called pdfminer.six?
+==============================
+
+Pdfminer.six is a for of the `original pdfminer created by Euske
+<https://github.com/euske>`_. Almost all of the code and architecture is in
+fact created by Euske. But, for a long time this original pdfminer did not
+support Python 3. Untill 2020 the original pdfminer only supported Python 2.
+
+Pdfminer.six started as a for of the original pdfminer with the goal of adding
+support for Python 3. This was done with the six package. The six package helps
+to write code that is compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3. Hence,
+pdfminer.six.
+
+As of 2020, pdfminer.six dropped the support for Python 2 because it was
+`end-of-live <https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/>`_. While the .six
+part is no longer applicable, we kept the name to prevent breaking changes for
+existing users.
+
+The current punchline "We fathom PDF" is a `whimsical reference
+<https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six/issues/197#issuecomment-655091942>`_
+to the six. Fathom means both deeply understanding something, and a fathom is
+also equal to six feet.
+
+How does pdfminer.six compare to other forks of pdfminer?
+==========================================================
+
+Pdfminer.six is now an independent and community maintained package for
+extracting text from PDF's with Python. We actively fix bugs (also for PDF's
+that don't strictly follow the PDF Reference), add new features and improve
+the usability of pdfminer.six. This community separates pdfminer.six from the
+other forks of the original pdfminer. PDF as a format is very diverse and
+there are countless deviations from the official format. The only way to
+support all the PDF's out there is to have a community that actively uses and
+improves pdfminer.
+
+Since 2020, the original pdfminer is `dormant
+<https://github.com/euske/pdfminer#pdfminer>`_, and pdfminer.six is the
+recommended by Euske if you need an actively maintained version of pdfminer.
