[sane-devel] SANE2, time for a decision

reading this sane2 thread and seeing that some people have some quite 
different views of how to proceed regarding openness of the discussion,
i wanted to suggest to use a WIKI page for holding some kind of wishlist as 
Gerhard suggested, and another page for editing the document defining the 
standard. This last one could be read only for everybody except for a 
few 'editors'.
In this way even if the 'core' of the technical discussion and commits goes 
among just a few people, everybody can 'monitor' the results and speak out 
if they come with a brilliant or revolutionary idea ;-)


It is not necessary to have a finished ('written on stone') standard to 
start coding, but it is also not wise to start coding (call it fork sane-1 
or start from scratch, doesn't matter) without having a general idea of 
how the API should look like... 

My 2 cents...

Best wishes, Ariel
