I think that you make a very good point, but Koha developers are a fairly loose group which support a variety of different libraries, and I think most developers have never worked as librarians themselves (with the exception of a few of us). Change usually comes from starting with one developer/vendor and then building support across the group. Personally, most of my (many) libraries have very small staff sizes, and I haven't heard any complaints around permissions (except for the latest one about requiring "edit_borrowers" to search/list borrowers). So I'm unlikely to get sponsorship for such a change. But I imagine there are other vendors who support libraries with larger staffs who would be more likely to get that kind of sponsorship. In the meantime, something that could be helpful is libraries coming up with a list of "personas" and "scenarios". These are useful elements of system design. Something basic like "Joe is a collection development librarian" (persona). The collection development librarian "needs to search the catalogue" (scenario), "needs to update only certain allowed lists" (scenario), "needs to update only collection development HTML pages" (scenario). Basically just outlining the hypothetical people and the things they need to do. From there the developers can start working out how we can technologically allow those people to do those scenarios. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
