Hi,<br>
<p>
My name is Rick Frank, and I am the developer of WorkingPapers, a MacOS<br>
Scanning application.<br>
<p>
On the Mac, we have similar problems that your group is trying to address -<br>
a number of different standards some of which aren't too well thought out or<br>
that haven't been updated in some number of years.<br>
<p>
I am very impressed by what I've seen in your mailing lists, and the amount of<br>
developer participation.<br>
<p>
I was wondering how you folks would react to some of us bringing SANE over to<br>
the MacOS? The APIs would be as close as possible, the low level code would of<br>
course be different in the current MacOS . <br>
<p>
I confess to not knowing that much about MacOS X, and MacOS X Server. But as<br>
they are going to be somewhat unix based, perhaps the efforts in this area<br>
would have good forward migration possibilities for the future.<br>
<p>
The goals would be:<br>
<p>
Open Source<br>
<p>
Ease of programming<br>
<p>
Unified API As Good As Possible(AGAP) (Unixes, Macintosh) so we <br>
don't have to learn new tricks all the time.<br>
<p>
<p>
If there are other Linux developers who also do some MacOS and<br>
are interested in this possibility, please let me know. If we can get<br>
enough developers interested, Dominion Software would be willing to <br>
"host" the code, or take some other lead in this area.<br>
<p>
My goal is to reduce the programming burden, and increase user satisfaction.<br>
<p>
<p>
Thanks,<br>
<p>
<p>
Rick Frank<br>
<p>
