Hi,<br>
So sounds like we have quite a bit of work to do. I did a quick read
through the threads and I will meditate on it a bit and try to
summarise the main points for further discussion.<br>
An update to the SANE standard is massively overdue in my opinion by
I understand the various positions.<br>
<br>
BTW, as a side note, I am now semi-retired!! So in theory I have a
lot more time to give to the SANE project, not that I don't have
other things to do though. :)<br>
So perhaps we have an opportunity to make some big changes now.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Ralph<br>

Indeed, it seems like there was quite a bit of a heated
discussion here: <br>
<a href="http://www.sane-project.org/old-archive/1999-08/"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">http://www.sane-project.org/old-archive/1999-08/</a><br>
I will read through the messages and see what I can glean
from it.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
