"Image Scan! for Linux" was originally written by Noriyoshi Sasaki with
help from Peter J. Schretlen.

The "burden" of continued development and maintenance was passed on to
Olaf Meeuwissen during the final stages of preparation for the release
of version 1.4.0 and Narihiro Matsukuma joined during the preparations
for 1.6.0 and helped out on and off until 1.14.0.

The following people have contributed:

  Ross Boylan		added resultion info to PNG images
  Tobias Kramer		pointed out a GTK deficiency wrt locale numerics
			that wrecked havoc on the GIMP plugin
  Olaf Meeuwissen	rewrote the build system from scratch to use the
			GNU autotools; upgraded the i18n framework; went
			thru the trouble of pruning all unnecessary bits
			from the sources (well, most at least); upgraded
			the sane-backends bits; merged most changes from
			the epson backend; overhauled the RPM spec file;
			completely redid the supported device info; made
			an interpreter module to make the epkowa backend
			work in the absence of any libesint*.so (it also
			lead to more readable code in epkowa.c); removed
			the most proprietary bits from the sources
  Johannes Meixner	provided some ideas to improve the RPM packaging
			thru his spec files for the iscan-free and iscan
			packages from SUSE; sent patches to fix compiler
			warnings; found a buffer overflow in the backend
			debugging code and confirmed the fix
  Dirk O. Siebnich	provided the initial patch that inspired support
			for non-i386 builds
