How hard would it be to rework the code for the bib module to work with CCK Fields? Is there any plans to develop the OAI-PMH Module to work with CCK?

I have no plans to do this, but I'm guessing you would like to see it done?

Yes! I am working on a digital collection for my university library, and I need it to be OAI-PHM compliant. So, yeah that would be great.

thanks!

Actually there's a module, i.e. OAI2 for CCK (oai2forcck), which does integrate with CCK. Ron Jerome says Currently it only exposes metadata from the biblio module; however if there was demand I believe that it could be made configurable to expose other node types as well., so I don't know the amount of work needed to either generalise oai2 and merge it with oai2forcck, or rewrite Bibliography's dependence on oai2 to reuse oai2forcck instead.

In all cases I guess it would be benefit us if both authors worked together on this.
