Re: [EP-underground] OAIster Search Interface Launch

Neat. You may want to keep an eye on the list of eprints users on eprints.org
and poke them to configure oai if their oai interface returns oai:GenericEPrints:
as ID's.

EPrints 2.1 is ready and has OAI-PMH2.0 support. All I've got to do now is
documentation & testing.
