Hi, we plan to include the SANE API into LSB 4.0, to make it easier for hardware vendors to write scanner drivers and make them available as distribution-independent packages or in case of multi-function devices to make distribution-independent driver packages for both printer and scanner part. See
https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/ProjectPlan40#LSB-Printing_Module https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/SANE40 The standardization will be based on the SANE1 API, as SANE2 is not started yet and even if it would have been defined it would take some years to have it in all enterprise distributions (mainly SLES and RHEL, on which the LSB is based). So even with SANE2 in the plans it would be a great step forward tohave SANE1 in the LSB. I want to ask you as upstream developers of SANE whether you could help us on integrating SANE in the LSB by contributing work on the documentation and testing framework. We would appreciate if you could help us. Till
