I remember one year ago a huge discussion on TWAIN and SANE cooperation
took place in the list. But, I don't know if it came to a constructive
conclusion. If I remember well:
talking about TWAIN, it was said that a layer between the TWAIN
application and SANE should be built, to assure communication between the
GUI (which is a concept bound to TWAIN) and SANE (which is
GUI-independent), having always SANE as a pivot.
Now, this is the only thing I remember: I should take a look in my mailbox
at home...
