<h2>FAQ, HOWTO, Tutorial, Saned</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljm/SANE-faq.html" target="_top">Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ)</a>: The SANE FAQ was originally created by Nicolas de Peslouan and is now maintained
by <a href="mailto:ljm@xs4all.nl">ljm Dullaart</a>.
</li>
<li>
<a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Scanner-HOWTO/index.html" target="_top">Scanner HOWTO</a>:
The Scanner HOWTO was written by Howard Shane to document the steps necessary for access and
use of a photographic scanner device on a system running Linux. Despite it's a Linux HOWTO,
most of the contents is useful for other platforms, too.
</li>
<li>
<a href="lj98/">Tutorial: The SANE Scanner Interface</a>: A tutorial on the ideas behind
SANE appeared in Linux Journal Issue 47, March 1998. This is an HTML "reprint" of that
article. Keep in mind that the article is quite old. The basic ideas are still true,
however.

<h2>Programmer's Documentation</h2>
<h3>SANE Standard Version 1.0 (stable)</h3>
<p>
The document for the SANE API and the network protocol is
available in a number of formats:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="html/">HTML</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="sane.ps">PostScript</a>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>SANE Standard Version 2.0 (development)</h3>
<p>
The SANE standard version 2 is currently in development. It shouldn't be
used yet for production software because some important parts are still
missing. Most of the work to update the standard has been done by
Andreas Beck and Oliver Rauch. The discussion takes place on the <a
href="mailing-lists.html">sane-devel mailing list</a>. The standard is
in CVS, see <a href="cvs.html">CVS page</a>. The SANE2 standard is in
branch DEVEL_2_0_BRANCH-1. Use the following command to get this branch:
</p>
<pre>
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z3 -d:ext:developername@cvs.alioth.debian.org:/cvsroot/sane co -d sane2 -r DEVEL_2_0_BRANCH-1 sane-backends
</pre>
<p>
There is a <a href="sane2/sane2-api-todo.txt">TODO list</a> and some
snapshots of the standard are available in several formats:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="sane2/0.08/">SANE2 standard draft 0.08 as HTML</a> (or <a href="sane2/0.08/sane2-0.08.tex">tex</a>,
<a href="sane2/0.08/sane2-0.08.dvi">dvi</a>, <a href="sane2/0.08/sane2-0.08.ps">ps</a>)
</li>
<li>
<a href="sane2/0.07/">SANE2 standard draft 0.07 as HTML</a> (or <a href="sane2/0.07/sane2-0.07.tex">tex</a>,
<a href="sane2/0.07/sane2-0.07.dvi">dvi</a>, <a href="sane2/0.07/sane2-0.07.ps">ps</a>)
</li>
<li>

</li>
<li>

</ul>
<h3>Miscellaneous Documentation for SANE Programmers</h3>
<p>
The following documentation is for developers who intend to include their backends/frontend in
the SANE distribution or want to use the framework of the SANE distribution.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The <a href="contrib.html">page about contributing to SANE</a> contains some basic
information on how to start writing a backend.
</li>
<li>
The sane-backends distribution comes with a file <a
href="backend-writing.txt">doc/backend-writing.txt</a> which contains a lot of hints on
how to write a backend.
</li>
<li>
The <a href="sanei/">sanei functions</a> should be used by backend programmers whenever
possible. They contain code for hardware and file access and lots of little helper
functions.
</li>
</ul>
