Feature changed by: Thomas Schmidt (digitaltomm) Feature #310683, revision 2 Title: Simple Scan (simple-scan) - openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed + Package Wishlist: Done Priority - Requester: Important + Requester: Desirable Requested by: Nelson Marques (ketheriel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Easy Scan - Is a very pretty straight away tool for scanning stuff. I understand we ship xsane by default, though offering both would be probably a good choice. For me and my hardware, (I need to scan a couple of documents once in a while) it does do the trick with a few simple clicks. This is very helpful if you are in a rush (usually if I scan something is because I am in a rush). It just works. It is on Factory and openSUSE 11.3, could be default installed on 11.4. It makes all the sense within a GNOME Desktop oriented installation.. http://launchpad.net/simple-scan + Relations: + - GNOME:Apps (obs/project: GNOME:Apps) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Why we should consider seriously: * It most likely would meet the requirements of a wider audience; * Because it's already maintained and packaged for current version and Factory; * Because it's more user friendly than xsane and offer better integration in GNOME Desktops; * Because it's a stabilized packaged it's free software; One remark: this isn't about removing xsane, but instead provide simple- scan as default for GNOME Desktop. + Discussion: + #1: Thomas Schmidt (digitaltomm) (2010-12-20 15:41:34) + Available in GNOME:Apps in the build service now. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310683
