Description
For the 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" release we had a 'countdown'.
* http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown
Users could link to an image/script that would countdown for every day that pass. Like "Ubuntu 7.10 - 93 days left".
And users could post it on their blogs, forums, websites, etc and it would generate a buzz and hype around the upcoming Ubuntu release and get people excited.
It was great. I propose we do the countdown again, now this time for the 8.04 "Hardy Heron" release.

Only problem would be with this is if hardy got delayed.
Good idea though.=]

I'm for that too. Only make the script/widget reset to the next release when the most recent one arrives.

It would be nice if we could have one that didn't use JavaScript for the countdown. WordPress.com blocks JS from sites it hasn't given a seal of approval to so anyone with a blog there has yo use the plain image.

I would welcome it too. I put in on my website. I definitely think we should have the same for Hardy.

Would immediately put this on my blog too!
can't believe it doesn't exist already.
Would make my own but I'm not that good with jscript. Please keep modding up!

I noticed that.
But I have tested the HTML code and it works.

Needs to show the actual release date as well on the button.

Sorry, guys, but we still need a NOSCRIPT section. And forgetting server functionality, not including a NOSCRIPT with a section is bad (and lazy) programming.

A static image would be like so much more useful. Sure, it would have to be recreated once a day but I think canonical has enough computing horse power to be able to cope.
No smart site allows custom JS because of cross site scripting issues (XSS).
