What scares me about ACS...

The following comment on a private user group:

"You discovered a workaround for what is the non-existent Resource Groups--a collection of Resources grouped as a common grouping to apply to events in a routine manner. Since FS does not have Resource Groups or departmental / stewardship attributes to assign to resources, you found a way to at least tag a resource to a department indirectly by applying to an event. The event record then acts like a stub for attaching resources that are related to a department or other stewardship oversight. Genius!"

I know I probably don't understand the implications or even the terminology and why it is important -- but as a potential user with a pretty standard IQ -- this boggles me. Someone just learning the system or forced to use it -- this is the kind of thing that as soon as the pressure is released -- people back slide from tracking things electronically because it is too difficult. Unfortunately if you don't track things -- then you never know whats happening or happened.

In software terms, it appears that ACS may suffer from the "Inmates Running the Asylum" i.e. applying programmer logic to every day user experience / user interactions.
