Hi!
<BR>
<P>Concerning backends that are not yet included into the SANE
<BR>
distribution:
<BR>
<P>If you are a maintainer of such a backend and want to include it in
<BR>
SANE 1.0.4 please speak up *now*! This will give us some time to check
<BR>
the source code, look for problems and test compilation. The backend
<BR>
should
<BR>
&nbsp;* follow the SANE standard (see sane.ps)
<BR>
&nbsp;* follow the hints in the GUIDE
<BR>
&nbsp;* not harm the other backends (e.g. not hang if the supported device
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is not present)
<BR>
&nbsp;* be portable (I can test compilation on Irix, AIX and Solaris)
<BR>
<P>It's not necessary to support &quot;your&quot; device perfectly. That's why we
<BR>
use &quot;ALPHA&quot;, &quot;BETA&quot; or &quot;STABLE&quot; entries in backend.desc. Your code
<BR>
should do something (e.g. scanning in one resolution).
<BR>
<P>In my experience it will be much easier to update the backend if it's
<BR>
in the CVS. Further more you probably will get more feedback if it's
<BR>
in the SANE distribution.
<BR>
<P>If you don't want to include your backend now, please at least
<BR>
consider giving some information (e.g. supported devices, status,
<BR>
website, author) that can be added to the website (by backend.desc
<BR>
files) and to the PROJECTS file.
<BR>
<P>Bye,
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Henning
<BR>
<P><PRE>
