From: Mark McLaughlin
<BR>
<P>Hi...
<BR>
<P>Last summer I initiated a discussion about expanding TWAIN's portability
<BR>
to include UNIX, and more specifically Linux. The discussion included a
<BR>
number of SANE developers, and continued (with some gaps) over the
<BR>
course of several months. It finally faded away, mostly due to my own
<BR>
fault, because of work committments and other TWAIN activities.
<BR>
<P>I have, however, continued to consider the issue, and recently the TWAIN
<BR>
Working Group decided that the discussion needed to be restarted.
<BR>
<P>We are still receiving queries from our user community about the notion
<BR>
of TWAIN on UNIX. And, back in April, we made it the central question to
<BR>
people in our booth at the AIIM show in New York City. People responded
<BR>
in sufficient numbers to further encourage us to continue.
<BR>
<P>It was during that time that I began the creation of a High Level Design
<BR>
Document outlining the goals and rough implementation strategies for
<BR>
expanding TWAIN's portability to include UNIX. Now, as in the earlier
<BR>
discussion, SANE plays an important part in this work. The document
<BR>
reflects ideas discussed with a number of people, in particular Oliver
<BR>
Rauch and Andreas Beck. It can be found at the following URL...
<BR>

<BR>
<P>I am not sure how feasible this next notion will be, but here goes: One of
<BR>
the
<BR>
members of the TWAIN Working Group (Jon Harju) has learned that there
<BR>
will be a Linux Symposium in Ottawa, Canada on July 20th. Jon and I would
<BR>
very much like to meet with any representatives of SANE who would be
<BR>
able to meet us there. If for some reason this isn't doable, we would be
<BR>
interested in discussing other opportunities for face to face meetings.
<BR>
