Hi David,

triggered by the recent threads on the ubuntu touch mailinglist [1][2]I
thought it might be a good idea to continue with the qreator software :-)

The main question in these threads is: does the system (SDK or via url
dispatcher) provide QR scanning / creation ability? And I think we should
make sure that the answer is "yes, via url dispatcher and Qreator is ready
to be used this way"!

There is a zxing page [3] where a uri scheme for android and iOS is shown
that can be used to scan from websites. And since we will apparently have
something similar on ubuntu touch, we might want to make sure that this
system can do everything we need. I do not really know the status of the
url dispatcher in Ubuntu, maybe you know more and know the people working
on it. The most important thing is that we must be able to return
information and focus to calling app.
For the schemes, we should extend the scheme from [3] to allow creation of
codes as well.

I would love to hear your thoughts and hope we get qreator coding speed up
to what it was when we worked on the deskpot/python version... :-)

Cheers,
Stefan
