Thanks! I added a link to the front page. As others have commented, in future we'll want to move this to being a client of fprintd. A user-friendly enrollment GUI will certainly be needed. BTW, you commented about the blocking issue. Latest fprint_demo uses libfprint's new asynchronous interface which does not have the blocking problems. fprint_demo is still single threaded and allows cancelling of active scans. > 1.

The UPEK linux driver supposedly supports identification so it just needs someone to sit down and analyse the bus traffic a bit more. Shouldn't be too hard. There is no need to reverse engineer the windows driver (which is more complex and drives the device in a different way) to gain this functionality.
