 frontends
 ---------
-  * Remove frontends (at least xscanimage/xcam) from distribution. Create
-    new package for frontends. 
-
-  * add new frondends (possibly to frontend package) (?)
-     - scanadf
-
-  * add possibility to use external filters to xscanimage/xsane (?)
-
-  * xscanimage/xcam: support depths > 8 bits/channel
-
-  * xscanimage: provide both scale and textentry for ranges (make new widget)
-
-  * xcam: provide access to option doc strings
-
-  * xscanimage: scanning of images whose heights is not known a priori is not
-    supported yet; this is going to be important for handheld scanners. At
-    least the frontend shouldn't crash or produce invalid pnm files when
-    it gets a length of -1.
-
-  * xcam: add dithering and support for SANE depths other than 8 bit (test
-    with Mustek backend, for example)
-
-  * xcam: add recording feature (e.g., GIF, JPG, or MPEG)
+  * Remove frontends (at least xscanimage/xcam) from distribution. 
 
   * dll: Rewrite to use libtool ltdl library
 
-  * For 3-pass scanners, xscanimage doesn't update the scan progress
-    bar properly between scans; the scanner seems to be faster than 
-    xscanimage can write to disk (problem: seek for every byte). This
-    doesn't happen as GIMP-plugin. It doesn't happen in blocking mode
-    either.
-
   * Add a check in the frontends if the backend delivers more data than
     it announced by sane_get_parameters to avoid segfaults with bad 
     backends?
 
-  * Adapt xscanimage to new GIMP API. Try to make it backwards compatible
-    with old GIMP versions if possible. Maybe two source/header files
-    for compatibility with old API?
-
-  * xcam: if the user quits xcam by the window manager, the process isn't
-    killed, only the window is closed
