[sane-devel] SANE Standard face lift

[Olaf Meeuwissen]

Hi all,

I converted the project's standard from LaTeX to Sphinx.  You can find
the code at

  https://gitlab.com/sane-project/standard

but I really invite everyone to take a look at the published result at

  https://sane-project.gitlab.io/standard/master/index.html

Note that you can access HTML and PDF versions for all tags and branches
from that page as well.

Please compare that with

  http://sane-project.org/html/
  http://sane-project.org/sane.pdf

and what's below

  http://sane-project.org/sane2/

Should I replace the links on

  http://sane-project.org/docs.html

to point to the Sphinx version?

If yes, I also suggest dropping the standard from the sane-backends
package and from now on maintain it independently via the `standard`
project linked to above.  Objections anyone?

What about removing some (notably sane2) or all of the pages that are
on our website as of writing?  I can fix up any broken links in issues
and/or merge requests that may result of any removal if needed.

Hope this helps,
