The Koha sip implementation returns a field PI described in one comment as 'Custom protocol extension to report patron internet privileges', in another as an unknown extension and in a third as 'Envisionware extension'. There appears to be no code elsewhere to set this (Sip returns Y for a valid patron N otherwise). Does anyone know of any code using this or is it a software fossil?
It's a fossil as far as Koha is concerned, but there's a bit of relevant history - Koha's SIP2 support comes via a copy of OpenNCIP, which is meant to be an independent module that provides SIP2 services for an abstract ILS. In principle, the Right Thing to do would be to rip OpenNCIP out of Koha's tree and contribute any base SIP2 code changes to OpenNCIP, leaving just the ILS connector code in Koha's source. The extension for reporting internet privileges is actively used by Evergreen.
