<i>&gt; From: Mark McLaughlin</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; Hello...</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; My name is Mark McLaughlin, and I am the current Chairperson</i><br>
<i>&gt; on the TWAIN Working Group Technical Sub-committee.  I am</i><br>
<i>&gt; sending this message to the manager for the SANE website in</i><br>
<i>&gt; the hope that it will reach the appropriate people.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; There is growing interest (as viewed on our mailing list) for</i><br>
<i>&gt; seeing TWAIN support on UNIX platforms, particularly on Linux.</i><br>
<i>&gt; This interest has finally reached a level where the TWAIN</i><br>
<i>&gt; Working Group feels it needs to investigate the possibility of</i><br>
<i>&gt; adding support for UNIX.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; We are interested in this because we believe there is an</i><br>
<i>&gt; opportunity to help developers of image capture systems</i><br>
<i>&gt; on UNIX, WIN32 and Macintosh platforms leverage their</i><br>
<i>&gt; code run on one or more or the alternate platforms.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; TWAIN has no intention of competing with SANE.  Rather we</i><br>
<i>&gt; wish to investigate a chance to employ the strengths of both</i><br>
<i>&gt; standards.  We are not against the idea of seeing SANE</i><br>
<i>&gt; running on WIN32 or Macintosh platforms, and if there are</i><br>
<i>&gt; ways we can help SANE achieve this we would be happy to</i><br>
<i>&gt; discuss them.  It is important that both groups benefit from any</i><br>
<i>&gt; interaction.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; We would like to start a dialog with one or more members of the</i><br>
<i>&gt; SANE group to discuss this further.  Please feel free to respond</i><br>
<i>&gt; directly to me, or to the TWAIN Working Group as a whole</i><br>
<i>&gt; (<a href="mailto:twain-wg@twain.org">twain-wg@twain.org</a>); whichever you feel to be more apropriate.</i><br>
<p>
Hello,<br>
<p>
we are interested in the discussion about making available TWAIN<br>
on UNIX/linux and the coexistence of TWAIN and SANE on<br>
the same operating systems.<br>
I think there are a lot of thing both projects can benefit from.<br>
It also is interesting to see if it makes sense/is possible<br>
to make both standards work with each other<br>
(e.g. create a sane-backend that connects to TWAIN devices<br>
or to create a TWAIN device driver that makes available<br>
the devices supported by SANE, etc.).<br>
<p>
At first I have to take a closer look at the TWAIN standard to<br>
know what we are talking about.<br>
<p>
I will cc my mails to the sane-devel mailling list (so we can keep the<br>
discussion open for the people who are involved or interested in the<br>
sane development ). I will send the mails directly to you. If you like to<br>
I will also cc my mails to <a href="mailto:twain-wg@twain.org">twain-wg@twain.org</a>.<br>
<p>
Bye<br>
Oliver Rauch<br>
