Heya,
Yesterday, I was browsing Ubuntu's "Blueprints" for their next release,
and saw this:
https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-karmic-gnomescan
gnome-scan is already packaged by Deji, but I gather that more
integration work could be done to make setting up and using scanners
easier in GNOME and Fedora in general.
Any takers?
I think a good start would be making a list of problems seen in setting
up scanners (additional packages required, tweaks), and make sure that
gnome-scan and the necessary plugins are installed in a default
installation.
Would certainly be nice to have something reasonable happen when I
connect a scanner and hit the hardware scan button.
But what should that be? From a quick look at the (possibly out of
date) gnome-scan web page it seems to me that it is trying to be an
application. That approach may have similar problems to those of
sound-juicer. Basically this is somewhat hard to solve if we don't
have a rhythmbox for photos... unless we do something like the
screenshot tool where we offer a few fixed options:
1. Save to Photos
2. Upload to Flickr
3. Upload to Picasa
4. Save as PDF
Incidentally whatever we do we should do the same for cameras...
