I see twopossible scenarios: either from a certain number of days in advance (30 days sounds plausible) or from the Release Candidate.The problem with starting this far out is that we're still not entirely sure if we're going to slip the release date or not, based upon the slips that we've had so far in the schedule (we've lost about 2 weeks to slips thus far). We're trying like hell to release on 4/29 as planned, but there's a (not so) small chance that won't happen. It would look fairly bad to "turn back the clock" when/if we slip.I believe ReleaseEngineering is the proper entity to ask about this, do we have anyone here connected to it?CC'ing rel-eng.At this time we're not slipping. However even if we did, we can just reset the counter back a little bit. It's not really worse than having our release date change on the schedule page. It certainly wouldn't be the first case of a computer progress timer going backwards...
So we can start the counter whenever we want. Just say a number and counter images will be produced starting from that day.
So far this is the only proposal for a counter image: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/PromoBanners#head-ab3c9d92ea25a8b18ae3af39c9c5a77315deeaf2
