                    records from external OAI-PMH clients

           Product: Koha
           Version: unspecified

Following on from previous work on #10662 and koha-plugin-oaipmh-import, I'm
now thinking that it would be best to have a REST API endpoint for importing
OAI-PMH records in the Koha mainstream.

This would give libraries assurance that the core OAI-PMH ingest functionality
will be in the main codebase and get Koha community support. 

For now, I'm still planning to keep my planned OAI-PMH harvester/client as a
plugin/third-party dependency, but completion of this work will allow Koha
libraries to use any OAI-PMH harvester they choose to ingest records into Koha.
This could be with a Perl cronjob using HTTP::OAI, or it could be a Golang
daemon, or whatever. Lots of possibilities. 

Anyway, I've got a lot of this work done already in koha-plugin-oaipmh-import,
so I'll look at re-organising it to fit into Koha proper. 

It'll be in my own time, so I don't have a timeline for it, but it is on my
TODO list.
