[maemo-developers] Gsoc Idea Barcode Reader

[From: amit sethi]

Hi , thanks to everyone for taking out the time and reviewing my
application.
Although I have not made any major changes. I hope this one has less number
of typos, I am sorry that I did not take care of it last time.
Changes made :
1.Well First i have changed the date at which my home exams may end to june
6th from May 30th. This is done as a precaution to any changes in the
schedule.
2. I have removed GUI interface as deliverable as yet , i might ofcourse do
it if I have time .
3. I have also restricted the project to EAN-13 barcodes only because
although zebra barcode offers other standards , how it shall perform with
the present camera would have to be tested . Also I think there are problems
with zebra's compatibily.
Also, On plausibility of the project for the cameras in N800  , N810 tablets
.
Well I think the Batoo toolkit performs fairly  well for 640 × 480 Camera.
At the same time one of the problems with Batoo is that it can only read
EAN-13.
Also , I would think that Glue code mentioned above would probably be
bindings between the current barcode framework and python.
