User-centric storage. Last-viewed information and 'intelligent' followup

[daniel]

This ties in to a more advanced form of "user" centric development, including personalized settings (#63, #17, #1) and such stuff.

An idea for storing and using 'user trails'

We could generate a random "id" key, store it in a cookie, and use it for logging what the user has viewed throughout the system.

Using this information, we could do the following neat things:

• The timeline could highlight events changed since last viewed.
• List tickets previously viewed, but changed (aka 'interesting' tickets). All automatically, without need for any "watch this" features.

This is how Archive stores a users' read list posts, and it's quite clever.

This is not my ticket :)

Rescheduling this for 1.0.

This could be part of the improved user management scheduled for milestone:0.12.
