I think this should be a preference that the librarians can choose from the
following options :

   1. Allow anyone to create public lists without moderation
   2. Allow patrons to create public lists with moderation
   3. Allow only staff (with permission) to create public lists

> 2  Add three permission options to any list: a) Allow adding entries b) Allow
> deleting your own entries (that you added)  and c) Allow deleting entries that
> someone else added.
>    This makes the distinction between public list and open list no longer
> needed and adds some refinement in lists management. 
>    Only the owner of the list can change these permissions.

In addition I'd say we need general staff list permissions which we don't have
right now.

> 3  Add a new (opac) feature to private lists: Share a list (with another
> patron).
>    Let the user share access to a list by Koha sending an email with a URL

>    The invited patron can always 'delete' the shared list, i.e. delete the
> share.
>    The owner can 'unshare' the list and remove all shares for that list.

I like!

> 4  With respect to user privacy, a feature may be added in staff client to
> moderate shared list names. 
> 5  Possibly, libraries do not want patrons sharing lists. So the option could

Yes, preferences to turn things off are always good.
