--- Comment #295 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
Now that I know the basics of Koha plugins and OpenAPI specs for API routes, I
think the plugin progress will be quite quick.

I am hoping that "koha-plugin-oaipmh-import" may actually be leveraged by many
different OAI-PMH harvester tools. 

The standalone OAI-PMH harvester was required by Stockholm University Library,
as they wanted a high performance interactive tool, but it might be overkill
for many other libraries, which might just want to run a nightly cronjob. This
plugin would allow any OAI-PMH harvester to feed records into Koha via the REST
API.

So I think this plugin is probably the most important component of the work
really, as it will add the fundamental ability to ingest MARCXML records
encapsulated within OAI-PMH records. 

With the "koha-plugin-oaipmh-import" plugin, people could use any number of
existing OAI-PMH tools to create their own OAI-PMH harvesters to import records
into Koha.

But I'll still be working on creating an OAI-PMH harvester that meets the
original stated needs of Stockholm University Library, as I still want them to
be able to meet their goals.
