Hey gang, Just a few questions about some of the additions to 3.0 that I haven't been keeping tabs on. Could someone clarify the following: 1. what is a 'professional' borrower? 2. what is a 'department' (in overdues)? Is it a hard-coded authorized value for item.location? Should it be defined in the framework? 3. what is the function of z3950AuthorAuthFields and z3950NormalizeAuthor system preferences? 4. what is the function of expandedSearchOption syspref? 5. what is the nature of AutomaticItemReturn syspref? 6. ReservesMaxPickUpDelay syspref ... what's it for, is it years, days, months? 7. maxoutstanding, maxreserves, noissuescharge, shouldn't these be in issuingrules? 8. useDaysMode - shouldn't this also be in issuingrules? 9. borrowerRelationship - shouldn't this be configurable in the borrower categories? maybe a new authorized value? 10. memberofinstitution syspref? - what is the effect of this syspref? 11. SubscriptionHistory syspref? what is the effect of this syspref? 12. Would anyone object to me declaring bankruptcy on our sysprefs, and re-naming all of them for 3.0? It might be a bit inconvenient for a few libraries currently running Koha that want to upgrade, but long term I think it would make things a lot simpler ...
