Good idea. I propose to also include a "rating of supportedness",
which should mean how cooperative the manufacturer is/was in order to
provide documentation for the scanner (e.g. "0" means no docs at all or
answers like "I do not understand your question - what's a scanner ?",
"9" means excellent written documentation or even helping when asking
back for specific concerns (am I dreaming ?))
The information herefore should be gathered from the backend developers
for the specific scanners. (for my own experience, I can vote a "1"
for this single model Mustek backend (600 II N) I did)

Andreas.
