gnome-scan looks like another good candidate.  Anyway...

No one has objected, so the answer is: absolutely.  Go for it John,
push this forward and let's do it.  Sounds like Jeff has some similar
ideas, so we may tweak it after getting started (or maybe Jeff will
start pushing his idea too and we'll adopt it after we have a more
detailed explanation), but it's better for something to get started.
Go!

Thanks,
