--------------------------+-----------------------
 We actually have two release counter scripts on the webpages.
 * Internal release counter which is just a small script
 * External release counter, works with JS
 Both rely on a huge work of the design team, because we need for every
 release about 30 banners in several languages and they really take a lot
 of time to produce them.
We should think about a new release counter and should only need one image
 (in several sizes?) from the design team; the rest could be done with a
 script and shouldn't be too difficult for the counter on the fpo webpages.
The more difficult part will be the external counter, and although we
 shouldn't break the links people placed on their blogs, local community
 websites etc. I fear we need to do so. It would be a good moment to change
 the link when the counter will be for the first time on the new
 fedora.next webpages (F22 Beta), so let's aim that target.
If anyone is willing to work on this please get in contact with the
 websites team first to figure out which could be the best solution and how
 to perform it.
A small final note: [https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Countdown OpenSuse]
 is already using a similar solution, maybe it is useful to start working
 on it.
