Hi There,
Has anyone considered using OAI? I have used this before and it works
well

Hi Nathan,

So the Direct Contribution Interface still involves uploading the
metadata xml files, right?

btw, how did you find those links?  Google can only find the link for
the Advanced Contribution interface, and Google found it linked from a
forum post from last year.

thanks for your help!  It's really appreciated!
