Hi, I have pushed Frédéric Demians OAI-PMH server to HEAD. We now have two OAI-PMH servers, and I propose that we replace the older one with Frédéric's new code for the following reasons:
* Unlike the older implementation, it is based on an OAI-PMH module (HTTP::OAI) that is in CPAN and is actively updated. * It is easier to add new metadata formats to HTTP::OAI based servers - rather than writing code to implement the new format, only a new XSLT to convert from MARCXML to the desired format is required. Frédéric's patch demonstrates that by adding support for MARCXML. * The new implementation is more compact, requiring only about 500 lines of non-CPAN code as compared to about 1800 for the older implementation. * The newer version acts as a drop-in replacement for the older implementation. I ask all interested developers to test and compare the two OAI implementations and provide feedback. If I receive no feedback or sufficient reasons to not proceed with this proposal, I will remove the older implementation from HEAD after a week has passed.
