[Henry Miller]<br>
<i>&gt; The person in this role should collect the scsi command set to all</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanners, and when someone requests it, get a proper NDA, and then</i><br>
<i>&gt; send the info out. Make sure that the NDA allows code to be</i><br>
<i>&gt; distributed of course. This doesn't imply writting a driver for</i><br>
<i>&gt; every backend. (in fact someone who writes the backend may be so</i><br>
<i>&gt; lost in technical details as to be worthless as a technical contact)</i><br>
<p>
Why not collect .pdf and .ps files at some central site, where all<br>
potential developers can get them. Most technical documentation is<br>
available electronically, so there is really no need for a person<br>
shuffling paper.<br>
<p>
BTW: I don't think SANE developers should accept signing a NDA to<br>
write drivers for scanners. _ever_. Vendors refusing to give out<br>
technical specs without NDA should be convinced that this is a bad<br>
idea, but we should not make drivers where the source is closed.<br>
