None of our folks use OCLC, but that's good to know.<br>
<br>
Going back to my earlier email, MarcEdit would probably benefit from a richer Koha API as well.<br>

Also +1 to a versioned API.<br>

I don't believe it matters as far as Connexion is concerned, as it only talks to <a href="http://connexion_import_daemon.pl" target="_blank">connexion_import_daemon.pl</a> via a raw socket.<br>

<br>
MarcEdit is one program I know that uses the current API to inject records into a Koha database.<br>
