Topic: Display # users online in header

Hi,

this week we had a problem with two concurrent users.
One user made a mistake and restored the database and the other user suddenly lost his data. I know you can prevent this with assigning proper user rights but it should be nice to see that other users are working in the system at the same time as you are.
I incorporated a small function that displays the number of users online. I googled several of similar PHP-algorithms. In the renderer the header now shows the number of online users. A small but, I think, usefull, add-on.
