  Description     : Near Field Communication (NFC) library

 libnfc is a library for Near Field Communication. It abstracts the low-level 
 details of communicating with the devices away behind an easy-to-use high-level 
 API.

 Supported NFC hardware devices are, theorically, all hardware based on the NXP 
 PN531, PN532 or PN533 NFC controller chip. 


I also intend to package the libraries and applications from the nfc-tools 
project (http://code.google.com/p/nfc-tools/), based upon libnfc. In the ideal 
case a NFC packaging team that handles all NFC-related packages could be formed.
I am not a Debian Developer though, so it would be nice if an interested DD
could join.
