A Trac plugin to display Notices to any User visiting any page in Trac.
This is useful to bring everyone attention on news that affect all users,
like the system going down, a solution to a common problem, and so on.
Notices can contain Wiki-formatted syntax, thus allowing for rich content.
Notices can have an expiration, expressed in hours, after which they 
automatically disappear.
In addition to the automatic expiration, each notice has a "close" icon,
allowing each User to close it. The plugin remembers each User closing a
Notice and will not show it again to that User.
A Notice Administration panel allows for showing which notices are active,
the time of expiration and for deleting them.
