<h2>FAQ, HOWTO, Tutorial, Saned</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Trouble with SANE and USB scanners, e.g. when updating from Linux 2.4 to
2.6 or does scanning only work as root? Read <a href="README.linux">README.linux</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html" target="_top">Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ)</a>: The SANE FAQ was originally created by Nicolas de Peslouan and is now maintained
by <a href="mailto:ljm@xs4all.nl">ljm Dullaart</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Scanner-HOWTO/index.html" target="_top">Scanner HOWTO</a>:
The Scanner HOWTO was written by Howard Shane to document the steps necessary for access and
use of a photographic scanner device on a system running Linux. Despite it's a Linux HOWTO,
most of the contents is useful for other platforms, too.
</li>
<li>
<a href="lj98/">Tutorial: The SANE Scanner Interface</a>: A tutorial on the ideas behind
SANE appeared in Linux Journal Issue 47, March 1998. This is an HTML "reprint" of that
article. Keep in mind that the article is quite old. The basic ideas are still true,
however.

<h2>Programmer's Documentation</h2>
<h3>SANE Standard Version 1.0 (stable)</h3>

<h3><a href="sane2/">SANE Standard Version 2.0 (development)</a></h3>
<h3>Miscellaneous Documentation for SANE Programmers</h3>
<p>
The following documentation is for developers who intend to include their backends/frontend in
the SANE distribution or want to use the framework of the SANE distribution.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The <a href="contrib.html">page about contributing to SANE</a> contains some basic
information on how to start writing a backend.
</li>
<li>
The sane-backends distribution comes with a file <a
href="backend-writing.txt">doc/backend-writing.txt</a> which contains a lot of hints on
how to write a backend.
</li>
<li>
The <a href="sanei/">sanei functions</a> should be used by backend programmers whenever
possible. They contain code for hardware and file access and lots of little helper
functions.
</li>
</ul>
