--- Comment #34 from Katrin Fischer <[email protected]> ---
I have taken a longer look at this and have been trying to make up my mind.
I also looked at the code and did some testing.

- I agree that adding one more place that has to be taken into account when
trying to anonymize the reading history seems problematic. We already have the
information in statistics, action_logs and old_issues.

- Choosing to build this on the existing anonymizing scripts would give us more
flexibility in the future. Like Galen suggested, it would be possible to keep
the "last n borrowers".

- There is currently no automatic way to delete this information from
items/deleteditems once you choose to deactivate the feature. This worries me a
bit.

Some general thoughts: When we discussed this kind of problem at work, there
was a point made that the data is not useful after a certain amount of time.
Can you blame a borrower for any damage you find after accepting the item at
the circulation desk or reshelving it after a selfcheck return? As we are only
allowed to keep data that is actually needed, it would be good if there was an
option to delete after x days.

About the code:
1) Database update needs to be '15' and contain the bug number.
2) Diacritics in the card number on the items tab get mangled.
3) I think the syspref description could be improved a bit. I didn't understand
at first what was meant by "This setting is independent of
opacreadinghistory/AnonymousPatron". I think something like "the data will be
stored independent on your settings for..." might be a bit more clear and also
it might be good to warn that the data will be kept for older items/issues when
turning it off again.
