[sane-devel] Addition of new(?) backends on TODO list

[Henning Meier-Geinitz]

Hi,

There is list of backends that should be included on the TODO list. As
some of the have been listed for a long time with no news, I'm
interested if the authors want to have them included in SANE at all.
Otherwise I would remove them from the TODO list. They will stay on
the PROJECTS list and/or web site.

The current list is:

    - hp4200 http://hp4200-backend.sourceforge.net/
    - v4l2 http://video.inodes.org/sane-v4l2/

Is the v4l2 interface used at all? It's not in the kernel, is it?

    - Relisys Scorpio Super 3 SCSI II
      Mark Plowman <sane-devel at plowman.xs4all.nl>
      http://www.xs4all.nl/~plowman/
    - Linux Handscanner Ioctl Interface scanner by Harald
      Bauer <bauer-h at web.de>

Probably not intended to be included. Is anyone using handscanners at
all these days?

    - viceo (Visioneer OneTouch 8600)

    - Genius Vivid Pro USB, Colorado USB 19200, Visioneer OneTouch 7600

    - Canon FB620S flatbed scanner and FS2710 film scanner
      ftp://stthd0.pc.uni-koeln.de/pub/canon-1.08.tar.gz
      Ulrich Deiters <ukd at xenon.pc.Uni-Koeln.DE>
    - Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 3300C / 3400C and 4300C (wip)
      http://sourceforge.net/projects/hp3300backend

And if there are plans to include other backends in the near future,
please also send a mail to us.

Bye,
  Henning
