[Zope-Annce] ANN: Guest Counter 1.1

[Alexander Staubo]

Guest Counter is a very simple product whose class instances can count
the number of "guests" to a web site.

It counts users using any kind of ID you want, although it makes most
sense to use a user's IP address. Since HTTP is a stateless protocol,
visitors cannot be precisely tracked, and so the counter continually
times out registered IDs in order to approximate the current bulk of
visitors. A simple mechanism for piecing together "graphical" counters
using GIFs or whatever you want is also provided.

Installation instructions: Unzip/tar in Zope root folder, then restart
Zope. The new meta type "Guest Counter" should be now available for
adding to folders.

(I made a small blooper that meant that each count incurred a 
transaction in the Zope OFS. This has been fixed.)

"QED?" said Russell.
"It's Latin," said Morgan. "It means, 'So there you bastard'."
