 you're right. my idea is to rally up some developers
 and then define the standard. only then we should start
 hacking.

 however, defining the standard without the developers
 will not lead us to anything useful.

 some people has committed the time necessary to
 port to sane2 the first bunch of drivers.

 we are currently missing coders for
 - all of sanei/* (i'll take sanei_tcp)
 - the build system (configure, makefile et al) 
 - X11 frontends
