Voting History
- Vote proposed by A. Warnock on 2009-12-20.
Motivations
Collections may exist in a local file system which need to be harvested on a regular basis, as distinct from the existing import capability. This proposed work will add that functionality to the existing harvest interface.
Proposal
Harvesting of local sources does not appear to work reliably, although one-time importing local records does seem to be working. We propose to test and refine, as necessary, the ability to harvest (or update) local collections of records on a regular basis.
Backwards Compatibility Issues
None anticipated.
Risks
None forseen. Development will take place on a separate branch so that testing can take place before merging into the trunk.
