+"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. Huynh Tuan Anh lend
+a hand with 2.2.0 and 2.3.0. Nguyen Trang Nhung helped out with 2.8.0.
+Alesh Slovak joined development in the early stages of 2.14.0 and took
+over the torch starting with the 2.20.0 release.

+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
+ Thomas Harding provided the initial changes to fix installation
+ conflicts with Debian's libsane-extras package
+ Khaled Hosny contributed Arabic translations
+ Kåre Särs pointed out bugs in backend options that are not
+ used by iscan but may be used through other SANE
+ frontends
