Hi DIYBS!
We are a growing group of SF Bay Area people affiliated with the Mission-based hackerspace, Noisebridge. In March of 2013, we purchased a Reetz Kit Scanner (http://diybookscanner.myshopify.com/pro ... canner-kit), which is currently undergoing some fine tuning by our friends at the Internet Archive. We expect to have it back sometime later this week. Once we do, we'll be posting here in detail, documenting what works and what doesn't, with the end goal of developing clear hardware, software and usage protocols for hackerspace scanners worldwide.
In the meantime, you can check out the wiki -- which, at the time of writing, is painfully under populated with information -- and subscribe to the list:

Stay tuned...
