2. Project Summary
   2.1. Project Description:
        
        PSARC/2008/170 has integrated SANE API into Solaris. This project
        will provide a graphical access to the raster image scanners by 
        integrating XSane into Solais Desktop.

   2.2. Release binding:
         
        Minor release of Solaris

        As above picture, SANE architecture is composed of two parts, 
        backends and frontends. Backends manipulate the real scanner 
        devices and supply an universal API to frontends. Frontends are
        independent of the detailed scanners, and they mainly offer an 
        easy user interface.
        
        XSane is a popular graphical scanning frontend. It uses the 
        SANE-library to talk to scanners. XSane can scan to file, 
        display image in viewer, do a photocopy and start from the GIMP
        as a gimp plug-in. Also, images could be saved multiple formats, 
        JPEG, PNG and TIFF.
        
        XSane originates from community outside SUN. Then we'll keep 
        tracking community and provide upstream changes back to them.

    4.9. I18N/L10N Impact:
         The JDS team and the G11N are working together to evaluation and
         provide I18N/L10N support.

    4.11. Security Impact:
         None. XSane run as user and accesses scanner through SANE API. 
         SANE API and internal implementation security issue should be
         covered by PSARC/2008/170.

         About eariler case "LSARC/2007/018 - .Sane-backends and XSane", 
         it was held because of two import issues, Device allocation and 
         Removable object reuse. They was addressed in PSARC/2008/170, so
         we decide to file this new case for XSane.
