Working:

• barcode-reader-glib: command line tool to connect to the DBus me.koppi.BarcodeReader service and "print read 'barcode'\n" to STDOUT.
• barcode-dbus-service: DBus service, which connects the system's barcode readers to the DBus and exports the me.koppi.BarcodeReader service.

Work in progress:

• barcode-manager: Barcode Scanning that just works.
• barcode-manager-applet: A barcode reader utility showing in the GNOME indicator bar.
