Mairin's suggestion is awesome and I am still happy to have a go at

Okay, here's what I got (see attached files)
run counter.py like so:
python counter.py [input SVG] [number of days to update counter to]
[output SVG[
so for example:
python counter.py fedora-countdown-banner.svg 37
fedora-countdown-banner.svg
Anyone want to run with this? hehe, maybe could set this in a cron job,
then also write a python script to convert the svg to a png using inkex?
Oh haha, or if you could install inkscape, you could do:
inkscape -z fedora-countdown-banner.svg
--export-png=fedora-countdown-banner.png
I'm attaching a modified version of the svg so you'd only need one font
- Isabella - the rest of the fonts are converted to paths. Isabella is
available here and is LGPL-licensed:
http://www.thibault.org/fonts/isabella/
So here is how this could work, sanity checks welcome:
- need a script to:
- call counter.py with the correct value, incrementing that value
every time it's called
- regenerate the svg
- run the inkscape command above to export the svg to png
- need a cron script to call the above at say every night at midnight.
- need counter.py and the attached updated svg
- need to install the Isabella font
If the png is saved out to a directory accessible to the web then anyone
wanting to display the counter could simply use that image.
Makes sense? Is this do-able?
