mbarcode works fine, the ISBN plugin complains about missing package libqt4.

There are a couple of things that I'd like to change, but wanted to check with lardman or dragly first:
* Since we're automatically focusing now, can we simply remove the focus button? It becomes enabled/disabled constantly, and is distracting.
* Several times now I've started to scan without remembering to open the lens cover. Besides being confusing, this makes the LEDs shine right against the cover, which can't be good for the phone. Could I change mbarcode to detect if the cover is closed? I'd lock the camera open (so the native camera app can't start), but display a message and not turn on the flash until the covers opened.

mBarcode? Yes, it requires Qt, but Qt should now be installed by default on PR1.2 N900 devices.

) and then provide a button or not, depending on that setting.Of course, depending on how dragly's UI changes go, we may want to hook up the manual autofocus call to something other than a button (and at the very least it may not be that button anyway).

For the new design, I'm thinking that we should have a message like the one the camera has asking the user to open the lens cover. If it is not open, there is no need to start the scanning.I doubt that it is damaging the phone though, I guess it is just useless to turn on the LEDs with the cover on

I also refactored MainWindow to MaemoBarcodeWindow and SinkPlugin to PluginAction in the last commit. Going to start on a newbie tutorial now. Nice tutorial you wrote, btw!

As we're building up a bit of a head of steam, I wonder if we should start a ToDo and allocated tasks list on the Garage page so people know what's being worked on, and what future tasks are needed/wanted.
One example would be a list of different plugin types, and changes to existing plugins, so that budding authors could write something that scratches their itch and then contribute it to the project.
