--- Comment #105 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
I've added a new report for the Icarus task scheduler with bug #17690.

At this point, I figure it's more efficient to test and push the OAI-PMH import
API and then focus on the task scheduler. 

If the API is pushed to Koha, it also means that anyone could write a harvester
and POST records to the API. You might write a cronjob which is run nightly. Or
you might write a daemon that you control from the commandline.

The idea with Icarus is that there will be a user interface in Koha that
librarians can use to schedule OAI-PMH tasks to run. 

For performance, I've split the task into two parts. One task downloads
records, while the other task uploads them. This lets you work in parallel,
which means you upload records as they're downloaded rather than waiting for
all the downloads to complete before uploading. (Another idea I had was to set
up an import daemon for Koha, which could be used in lots of different ways...
whether it's from the web or the command line.)
