Hello,
it seems that the real question is what do we want for SANE future ?
1 - the current situation is perfectly fine, don't need to change a
thing.
2 - only a couple of new image formats are needed, simply evolve a few
things.
3 - put together the things we need to improve SANE, and have a new
standard.
4 - other proposition ...
I think that once there is an agreement on a common goal for SANE, it
will be easier to debate on how to achieve it.
I'm rather inclined to the "3" goal, since I feel there are quite a few
things to do to improve SANE. Having a new standard doesn't mean SANE 1 stops
to exist. Both can coexist.
Regards,
Stef
