--- Comment #13 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
1) There is a fail in the QA scripts:

 FAIL   installer/data/mysql/kohastructure.sql
   FAIL   tinyint_has_boolean_flag
                The new column categories.canplaceill is using TINYINT(1) as
type but is not defined as boolean in the schema file
(Koha/Schema/Result/Category.pm), see the SQL12 coding guideline


2) Behavior in staff interface

I think, we should not use the staff person's patron category for the check on
the 'new request' button in the staff interface.

If a staff user has permissions for the interlibrary loans module, they should
be able to place ILL requests for the users of the library. They are usually
not placing ILL requests for themselves, but for others. Similar to hold
requests.

The check on the category should be implemented in the patron search/the user
they try to place the request for. But I am not sure if this would have to be
done in the backends then?


3) Changed behaviour for existing installations

As all categories are allowed to place ILL requests now, we should set "Can
place ILL requests?" to yes for all categories if the ILLModule is activated.
This way we won't break things for libraries and they can implement the new
feature if they chose to do so.


But overall this looks quite good already!
