Issues and progress in R&D toward realizing an X-ray FEL oscillator will be discussed, including electron injector optimization, X-ray power density evolution on Bragg crystals throughout the lasing process, experimental efforts for testing radiation damage, evaluating the performance of compound refractive lenses (CRLs) as the focusing elements, and the basic considerations for mechanical layout. These will be discussed in the context of a concrete implementation scheme [*] using the 4 GeV superconducting linac to be constructed at the LCLS-II. Time-dependent simulations of harmonic XFELO performance is discussed in another contribution to this conference by Zemella, et al.
