So nice that the only one app i submit has been selected to take part of the Google Summer of Code 2006. Thanks to Google.

My project is a librarized Gnome xsane replacement. I do not intend to replace xsane because xsane is multiplateforme, maintained and full-featured.

This project is dual headed : in one hand Gnome needs a real scan Api, in the other hand we needs great interface integrated in the desktop. To address thos goals, i will build the following targets :

  • A library for scan access
  • A library for scan widgets
  • A capplet to configure devices

Once the Gnome scan infrastructure is done, we will be able to easily produce good UI. For this SoC i intend to write :

  • A simple standalone app
  • A Gimp plugin
  • An Abiword plugin
  • gthumb patch to add album import feature

I create the GnomeScanning wiki page that gather all information and thoughts on that problem. I posted a call for comment at gnome-devel mailing list. Any comment are very very welcome.

Étienne.
