I would please recommend that this also be used to charter a new Working Group, with the deliverables of aiming to have (at the least) a roadmap for releasing this as a core component as a deliverable.
Do these institutions use the ruby-oai
gem directly, or via the blacklight oai provider?
I have to wonder whether the broader community here wouldn't be better served by just contributing to code4lib/ruby-oai
?
Currently, there are cases in which implementations of Hyrax which include within them a dependency upon
oai
for supporting OAI-PMH features (please see https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues/3328). Unfortunately, the Gem itself does not necessarily have a regularly-scheduled maintenance plan, and as such, supporting this Gem from the standpoint of enabling continued community adoption can become problematic.While the original GitHub project was located on https://github.com/code4lib/ruby-oai, I have started to advance the process of looking towards community maintenance by forking this to https://github.com/samvera-labs/ruby-oai.
In order to promote this to a core component, the following criteria would need to be fulfilled:
Organizational
