I'd be happy to host a web page describing the open source attitude of<br>
|
|
various (scanner) companies. Maybe it could include a ranking and<br>
|
|
supporting information such as the letter from Minolta. The highest<br>
|
|
ranked companies would be equivalent to "recommended buy" whereas the<br>
|
|
low ranked companies would be equivalent to "stay away".<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As long as we provide factual information, there is nothing wrong with<br>
|
|
doing this. And hopefully it will increase the pressure on companies<br>
|
|
that so far refuse to give out specs. Anyone interested in putting<br>
|
|
together such a page? I'd be happy to write a section on our<br>
|
|
experience with Mustek, but don't have time to organize the whole<br>
|
|
effort.<br>
