--- Comment #73 from Frédéric Demians <frederic at tamil.fr> ---
Martin: This idea of a Coce route responding with available providers sound
good of course. But the the difficulty would be Koha side in the syspref
editor to display those info appropriately. The way Tomas has displayed the 3
currently available providers is really good and consistent, and easy to
extend if required. 

Concerning BDS integration, I can't say a lot since I don't know what it is at
all. Adding a new provider shouldn't be too difficult. You have to add a
method to the CoceFetcher class. If you have a public API for BDS, I could
take a look.

What I'd like to add to Coce is its integration with an image storage server
which could replace the one integrated in Koha: local cover images. This would
allow libraries to share scanning work, and stop this madness which consist to
store images directly in the DB. I have several libraries that have MySQL DB
made up of 95% of image data.

A new image storage server may just be a new OpenLibrary project. So it may be
a bad idea. But I had the feeling OpenLibrary was stopping its activity.
