Description Karl Matthias CLA 2008-11-20 13:41:04 EST 
It would be beneficial if the Portal tracked some statistics about who is online.  That way when it's time to do a release it would be easier to tell if no one is using it or ten people are using it.  Portal.php and dispatch.php could simply report into a table the last action time by a particular user.  Inserting a new action could clear the table of any actions older than 10 minutes.  We could have a stats component to list who is online, either publicly accessible or just for admins.  The component could just list anyone as active who took an action in the last ten minutes.  That way the stats will be helpful and the table will get cleaned out (simply by the fact that to view it you took an action).

It would be worth studying possible performance degradation from the extra querying, however.

We are no longer doing development on the Portal. Marking as WONTFIX.
