[Chameleon] Statistics for a chameleon server

[Paul Spencer]

Jacob,

that's a neat widget idea.  I think a generic logging widget would be a 
useful thing for quite a few people.  It may be useful to have it hooked 
into the admin capability perhaps.

Unfortunately, I don't have any plans to add such a widget, but if you 
or someone else does, I'll certainly look at incorporating it into the 
chameleon distribution.

Cheers,

Paul
