I just spent a couple of hours with mom helping her understand how to use Xsane to scan images (to her Gnome desktop) and then e-mail them (using Yahoo mail -- Evolution on her desktop would have been better however...). It seems to me that this should be easier for non-geek types to do. She got confused about the difference between sanning to the viewer and scanning to a file and choosing a filename and so on and so forth. A desktop (i.e. gnome) step by step druid would be nice. Something that prompted the user along the way to choosing a scanner, getting a preview, assisting them with setting the scan area to getting it onto their desktop and asking if there is anything more they would like to scan and doing it all over again. Xsane appears to have most of everything needed for a Gnome druid of this sort. I wonder how much work it would be to massaging it to be a druid. There is so much overlap (or rather little extra needed for a druid) that it could be a single executable with multiple personalities (i.e. based on argv[0] or a command line switch perhaps).
