Anybody seen the nifty countdown logo that Ubuntu is using? http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown Maybe we should do something similar for Wine.
Agreed.
FWIW, here's a snippet that does something similar, but with text:
[...]
I don't like this approach for several reasons:
* It doesn't work for browsers without javascript interpreter or for users who disabled javascript for various reasons * You ask people to include a script in their pages (well, you didn't, the Ubuntu people did). Including executable script code that you don't control is a very bad idea since it is executed in the execution context of your page (think about stealing session ids that are stored in cookies or in the URL). * You rely on the users clock to calculate the number of days left
Instead I propose the use of a small cgi script that calculates the number of days left and creates a 307 redirect to the appropriate image. I prepared some images and you can try it out:
<img src="http://teythoon.cryptobitch.de/cgi-bin/wine-countdown.py" alt="Wine 1.0 countdown" />
The images could use some fine tuning, feedback is always welcome :). I couldn't find much about "official" wine artwork, I searched the wiki for "artwork" and "logo" and googling for "wine artwork" didn't yield any useful information either ;). The images I found were in the website.git module...
