Great idea!  I modified the script a tiny bit to match the logic that's
the website is using to generate the counter:

  var today = new Date();
  var release = new Date("November 8, 2007 14:00:00 UTC");
  var millisBetweenDates = release - today;
  var days = Math.ceil(millisBetweenDates/1000/60/60/24);
  if (days < 0) days = 0;

  document.write('<div id="banner"><a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/Schedule"><img src="http://fedoraproject.org/images/counter/' + days + '.png" alt="Fedora 8 Werewolf unleased in " + days + " days." style="border: none;"></a></div>');

What do you think?  Should we put this up/start spreading it? 

Thanks,
Ricky
