Hello. I am editing the GNU Software Catalog. Our records<br>
|
|
indicate that you should review text that appeared in our March 1998<br>
|
|
Bulletin; the text you should review is appended to the end of this<br>
|
|
message. We appreciate the work you have done; depending upon space<br>
|
|
and other issues to be decided as time goes on, we would like to<br>
|
|
include your information in the catalog. Of course,<br>
|
|
information about the GNU Project and its programs have priority.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To help us provide complete and up-to-date information about you and<br>
|
|
your contribution to the information in the catalog, would you please:<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
1) reply to me saying that this information is correct as it stands,<br>
|
|
2) send me an updated version of this information (please make it as<br>
|
|
*short* as possible, perhaps shorter than the previous entry;<br>
|
|
space is always at a premium),<br>
|
|
or<br>
|
|
3) indicate that you do not want this information to be mentioned in<br>
|
|
the catalog.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
(I really need to get some sort of reply from you *soon*, even if it<br>
|
|
is just to say that you are too busy to update the information,<br>
|
|
no longer responsible for the program or product indicated in<br>
|
|
the text you received, or unable to give me an update at this time<br>
|
|
for some other reason. If you are no longer responsible for<br>
|
|
the items described in the text, please let me know who is<br>
|
|
responsible, so I may contact them. If your update must be<br>
|
|
delayed, I will keep track of this, and send you a reminder in a<br>
|
|
few days.)<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We are not willing to print the appended information (except for the<br>
|
|
brief descriptions about GNU programs) until and unless we receive a<br>
|
|
reply from you regarding this information. The catalog is<br>
|
|
distributed to thousands of people, and therefore we need to insure<br>
|
|
that the information within is correct.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please try to respond within the next few days.<br>
|
|
I *must* have a reply from you by Thursday, Nov 5.<br>
|
|
However, I will send a reminder every few days to everyone I have<br>
|
|
not heard from until I do hear from you.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If I do not receive a reply from you by Nov 5, I can not<br>
|
|
include any information about you in the catalog. Our<br>
|
|
printing deadline is Nov 12. We spend this time between<br>
|
|
receiving all the replies and the actual deadline doing the layout,<br>
|
|
writing new articles, and contacting other information sources. It is<br>
|
|
very difficult to do all these tasks and also be trying to reach people<br>
|
|
for last minute updates.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you have any questions, you may email them to me at the address<br>
|
|
<a href="mailto:catalog-updates@gnu.org">catalog-updates@gnu.org</a>, or you may contact our distribution office<br>
|
|
by telephone at +1-617-542-5942 or by fax at +1-617-542-2652.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I can not overemphasize that the text you send me needs to be brief.<br>
|
|
If what you send is not short enough, we (the editors) will<br>
|
|
edit it to fit. I'm sorry if it doesn't end up saying exactly what<br>
|
|
you want it to say as a result.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I apologize in advance to those who get this letter more than once.<br>
|
|
However, each copy will include a different segment from the March 1998<br>
|
|
Bulletin. Therefore, please make sure to respond regarding all<br>
|
|
information that I have asked you to update. Any segments unaccounted<br>
|
|
for can not be included.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Thank you very much.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Sincerely,<br>
|
|
Brian Jepson<br>

*** BEGIN current working copy of GNU's Bulletin text<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
@item @code{sane}<br>
|
|
SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) is a universal scanner interface.<br>
|
|
The value of such a universal interface is that it allows writing<br>
|
|
just one driver per image acquisition device<br>
|
|
rather than one driver for each device and application.<br>
|
|
So, if you have three applications and four devices,<br>
|
|
traditionally you'd have had to write 12 different programs.<br>
|
|
With SANE, this number is reduced to seven:<br>
|
|
the three applications plus the four drivers.<br>
|
|
Of course, the savings get even bigger as more and<br>
|
|
more drivers and/or applications are added.<br>
|
|
<p>
