From: Mark McLaughlin

Hello...

My name is Mark McLaughlin, and I am the current Chairperson
on the TWAIN Working Group Technical Sub-committee. I am
sending this message to the manager for the SANE website in
the hope that it will reach the appropriate people.

There is growing interest (as viewed on our mailing list) for
seeing TWAIN support on UNIX platforms, particularly on Linux.
This interest has finally reached a level where the TWAIN
Working Group feels it needs to investigate the possibility of
adding support for UNIX.

We are interested in this because we believe there is an
opportunity to help developers of image capture systems
on UNIX, WIN32 and Macintosh platforms leverage their
code run on one or more or the alternate platforms.

TWAIN has no intention of competing with SANE. Rather we
wish to investigate a chance to employ the strengths of both
standards. We are not against the idea of seeing SANE
running on WIN32 or Macintosh platforms, and if there are
ways we can help SANE achieve this we would be happy to
discuss them. It is important that both groups benefit from any
interaction.

We would like to start a dialog with one or more members of the
SANE group to discuss this further. Please feel free to respond
directly to me, or to the TWAIN Working Group as a whole
(twain-wg@twain.org); whichever you feel to be more apropriate.

Many thanks for your time, we hope to hear from you soon...
