It looks to me what they want is one person to be a technical contact.<br>
Is one of the Microtek backend devolpers avaibale for this? <br>
<p>
This position would be lead technical contact, someone who knows the<br>
backend(s) and knows who else works on them. Someone in this position<br>
need not know the driver in side and out, however he should know how it<br>
works, what scanners are supported, and be able to lend general<br>
assistance. When the problem gets into a part that he doesn't know, the<br>
problem is passed onto the person who would know.<br>
<p>
I don't know how many questions they get about linux, but if we have one<br>
contact it would solve their problems. Basicly what they are saying is<br>
that too many people are on the list of possibal people to contact, and<br>
they want one person. (why this list won't do I don't know)<br>
<p>
The person in this role should collect the scsi command set to all<br>
scanners, and when someone requests it, get a proper NDA, and then send<br>
the info out. Make sure that the NDA allows code to be distributed of<br>
course. This doesn't imply writting a driver for every backend. (in fact<br>
someone who writes the backend may be so lost in technical details as to<br>
be worthless as a technical contact)<br>
<p>
So, Microtek backend devolpers, is there anyone of you able to do this?<br>
