HP scanjet 3670 why there's no suport?

Hi guys this is my first mail.

well, i have this scanner and it's still not supported
(there have mail 
in mai archive about genesys backend from 3 years ago!), so
i'm into an 
intersitng
situation.

My first question is why this backend does not support my
scanner. And 
my second question is what can i do to help the developement
of the 
backend (since for instance i can start as tester i also can
learn a bit 
of C and the SANE patterns of backends and under a more
experienced 
programmer do something.

Actually i'm a java programmer, but i have some time
(sunday's midnigth, 
)
and really want to scan my old photos without buy a new
scanner.


Oh, about the thread 
(http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipe
rmail/sane-devel/2003-November/009360.html), 
how can i help these guys? is there some code available for
now?

BTW: thanks guys for a project like it: i had used (for
example) an 
LiDE20 and it worked really perfect.

	Hello,

	the genesys backend supports two gl646 models (MD6471 and
HP2300). I have put 
some tools and documentation at http://stef.dev.
free.fr/sane/genesys . The 
gl646 ASIC is one of the few for which you can get a pdf
documenting its 
registers (search for 'gl646 pdf' to find it).
	Adding support for it doesn't involved deep knowledge in C,
but quite some 
trial and error after much time spent gazing at the USB
logs.
	Any patch to improve support the genesys backend is
welcomed.

Regards,
	Stef
