Speculative features for (much) later versions

[JohnAD]

These are just thoughts for future releases; in no particular order. I figured I'd document them somewhere. I'm not going to work on any of them right now :).

• Use threading for storage so that a slow DB connection does not slow down Flask.
• Modify the Mongo updates (for summaries) so that the increment is more atomic; should scale better.
• Add Writers for feeding data much more advanced analytics products:
  • Matomo (via API or MySQL)
  • Sawmill (via API)
  • AWStats, which is done via a Apache Access Log, which leads us to....
• Add ApacheAccessLogWriter, which writes a standard apache log to a text file
• Add a HTTP-Status-Code summary, to see 404s etc.
• Add summary for GeoLocation
• Put sumBasic back in (does the basic 5 as a single line.)

• Add Flask's built-in session cookie to the usage log.
• Put documentation for writing one's own summary back in.
  • Make a YouTube tutorial video on that.

• When using "FREEGEOIP" store the actual coordinates in MongoEngine's geospatial PointField.
  • MongoDB ref: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/geojson/
  • also add straight pymongo support

@JohnAD 2.0.0 went live. Let me know once you publish your video!

I plan on adding another vid for the geolocation function in the next few weeks.
