[Thinkfinger-devel] Asynchronous fingerprint scanning

[Anton]

All,

I just want to let you know that one of gentoo's developer Daniel
Drake (dsd) is working on a new libusb and fprint libraries. Here are
more details:

It might be a good idea to join forces or keep an eye on it.

Regards,
Anton

I second that suggestion. Drake has a very clear understanding of the
fingerprint reader technologies and is now doing stuff that could and
probably should be merged in with Thinkfinger.

I like that Thinkfinger is simple and effective, but there are expanded
capabilities that would be nice if they were present and available.
Judging only by the content of a short discussion and the contents of
his site, I'd say his expertise and knowledge are so far beyond my own
that I couldn't measure it.

I love projects like these because the potential to do things better
than Windows is clear and present.
