Hi Patrick,

Good idea, though I'd prefer to have a solution that works with other MySQL
versions as well.

Kasper, can you please give me some details about this problem? How much did
you try already?

Not now, probably later.

> taskcenter_recent (pretty useful)
> sys_notepad (pretty useful)
> sys_messages (pretty useful)

Yes, I like these. Please keep them.

Agreed. Who will do this "more work"?

Fine. If we make this ona a system extension, then the hardcoded templates
could be removed. I like this idea...

I couldn't find this one but YES it should NOT be a system extension because
it's pretty much outdated and still has some bugs.

Do we actually have a really good visitor statistics extension?
I personally like the awstats extension but since it depends on Perl and
because it's still a little buggy, we should not make this a system
extension.
