here is the first shot of the package.
  http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/throttle+stats0.1.tar.gz

I have removed the site specific content, changed
the place where the throttle check is placed
(we had it in the request processor, moved it
into a filter - still seems to work), made it
usable from plain AS and OACS. Hope that i
introduced no glitches....

Contents:

  ./README
  ./COPYRIGHT

    # user interface
  ./pages/stat.tcl
  ./pages/stat.adp
  ./pages/stat-details.adp
  ./pages/stat-details.tcl
  ./pages/backcolor.gif

  # main packages
  ./modules
  ./modules/tcl
  ./modules/tcl/throttle_mod.xotcl
  ./modules/tcl/thread_mod.xotcl

This distro should really split into two pieces,
thread-mod and throttle+stats in the near future.

Gustaf,

As I began a code audit and subsequently started to research XOTcl (to which I've never been exposed), I uncovered the fact that you are a primary creator of XOTcl. So, I expect that your contribution will serve as an excellent intro to XOTcl! Thank you so much for sharing.

Gustaf, your stats and throttling package definitely does sound interesting. Is it actually dependent on OpenACS in any way though? I suspect that it can be used on any AOLserver site which has XOTcl and the Tcl Thread Extension installed for AOLserver, whether OpenACS is installed or not - is that correct?

Hm, I see a bit of code that is in pages/stat.tcl that uses the OpenACS templating system if it is present, but that's optional, it will still work fine in plain AOLserver?

Oh my, I didn't read very carefully: Gustaf already said above that his throttle+stats package works both with OpenACS and without it. Sorry.
