Hello world,
Just to let you know : I have some contacts that are interested by adding OAI features to Koha. They should do it on Koha 2.2.x branch and, later, on koha 3.x probably.
The school that is interested will ask for a student work (5 weeks in april/may)
If someone in this list already has investigated such feature, please let me know. Otherwise, just stay tuned, i'll let you know if they decide to do it. I know for a fact that OAI support will be built in to Zebra in an upcoming version (within a few months I think) as they've received some sponsorship for building this feature. As it will be in a very large institution (with tens of millions of bibs) it will also be quite stable, so would probably be a good choice for OAI support in Koha. Having OAI support in the 2.2 branch could also be interesting, but will also be quite proc intensive and slow (I'm guessing).
Also, I suppose I say I'm assuming you mean OAI as a service, not talking about building a harvest engine to import records into Koha via OAI, right?
