Ernesto,
I'd suggested during the IRC session this morning that you:
> (1) create a Calculated attribute around the countMembers method (like 
> a python property, but with type info that'll guide the 
> attribute-editor picking mechanism; (2) Create anAttributeEditorMappi 
> ng that maps 'Integer+static' to 'StaticStringAttributeEditor'; (3) in 
> your makeEditor call, specify format='static'.
One quick heads-up about this: this strategy -- set up something that 
looks like a typed attribute, so that the attribute editor mechanism can 
figure out which editor to use, but only after you've preregistered a 
custom format for its type and selected that format in the AEBlock that 
makeEditor will create for you -- is the right way to do this, but it's 
possible that StaticStringAttributeEditor may not do the right thing for 
numeric attributes, so we may need to either pick a different editor 
class or tweak StaticStringAttributeEditor a little; once you get to the 
point of trying this, we can figure out what the next step is. Let me 
know when you get to that point...

...Bryan
