wikipedia:

The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the vital few and the principle of factor sparsity) states that for many phenomena, 80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes.
[...]
It was named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of income in Italy was received by 20% of the Italian population. The assumption is that most of the results in any situation are determined by a small number of causes.
[...]
In computer science the Pareto principle can be applied to resource optimization by observing that 80% of the resources are typically used by 20% of the operations.


In our context this means:

Ilija:

Every new or existing feature that does not benefit 80% of users should be thrown out.

My guess is that it would be useful for more than me to have this feature, especially for freelancers connected to different groups/companies and for NGOs and voluntary groups where persons often have different roles in different settings.

Personally I use aC for managing different projects me and my friends are involved in: A band, a blog and some other stuff.

The band is one company and the blog another. But one person is a member of both. I'd really like to make this person a member of both companies, as it seems strange adding a person from the blog-company to the band project...

One way to do this is of course to make one company per person, but this feels wrong, and it is so much cooler to be a member of some unit rather than beeing the member of oneself...
