[sane-devel] SANE_FRAME_IR

[Ralph Little]

Hi,
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.
An update to the SANE standard is massively overdue in my opinion by I 
understand the various positions.

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. :)
So perhaps we have an opportunity to make some big changes now.

Cheers,
Ralph
