OpenACS

Previous version of the chat class required a login for participating

in the chat. The new version also supports a mixed mode, with

authenticated and non-authenticated users can participate. For

unauthenticated users, the disambiguation is performed over the peer

IP address, similar to the xotcl-request-monitor. Instead of the raw

IP address, an artificial username is displayed for such users (like

e.g. userXXX).

For unauthenticated users, some differences apply:

- one cannot provide a link to the private page

- unauthenticated users cannot access the user-portrait

 of authenticated users.

The GUI changes are only made on chat-skins/chat-classic.js, not on

the other skins.
