Sounds interesting!

That certainly would be good and welcome. As for myself, I'm tied up
in too many free software projects already, so I can't offer much
help. However, I'd be happy on working with others to make sure SANE
provides the features necessary for such a project (I certainly hope
most of it is there already, but you never know...).

If Daryll is behind it, it's got to be a success---I just hope he
isn't going to sink _another_ big ship! ;-)
