[maemo-developers] Gsoc Idea Barcode Reader

Hi Steffen,

Thanks for the pointer. For maemo-barcode we currently use the main  
logic provided by the Batoo project  
(http://people.inf.ethz.ch/adelmanr/batoo/), but it looks like zebra  
decodes more types of 1D barcode so I'll have a look at it.

I'll try to get it compiled in the week.

Cheers,


Simon
