Hi Jonathan,

5/ About the circulation rule, how did you pick the value to define?
For instance "Current on-site checkouts allowed" is not configurable and the
default value becomes "unlimited". I do not think it is the desirable behavior.

Addressing this question, it is my feeling that overwhelming new users with the
entire list of options for the circulation rule is unnecessary in the
onboarding process. 

The goal of the tool is to get a brand new user of of an essentially empty Koha
to a working, circulating Koha the first time they log in. A brand new user
will not know what an on-site checkout is, or if/how they want to set up fines.

If you think about your most basic user, that person wants to log in, add a
book, and then circulate it straight away, just to know that Koha is working.
They will be delighted when it all works straight away, instead of binning the
software as unusable or too hard. 

The rules are editable in the Circulation and fines rules interface, additional
values can be added later. I'm opposed to adding more fields to the onboarding
rule creation. I want people to get through the installer in 5 minutes with as
little friction as possible. 

Cheers,
Liz
