Logging only tools.

[JasperWallace]

For some tools it's not needed to have access control, but is nice to have a log of users (e.g. the donkey saw for chasing prople for replacement blades).

So having a way to mark a tool as useable by all members would be good.

For this to work //card/ needs to return a state that means "recognised hackspace member", as opposed to "card not found". AIUI we have:

0 = not allowed to use the tool
1 = allowed to use the tool
2 = maintainer

If we could also have:

-1 = card not found

and change 0 to mean "Not allowed to use the tool, but a hackspace member"

Then we could have a logging mode that let cardw with status == 0 work.

Why would we want this?

as the issue says: for tools with consumables, we want to know who used it last so we can pester them to buy new blades etc. (the donkey saw is a good example).

I can't remember who asked for it originally.

I think this is a non issue and not required for ACNode at all.
