This isn't a brand new development, but we did do a lot to clean in up
in the last couple months. Thanks for taking notice.

I don't really think we have had enough testing on these just yet. I'd
like to see these modules tested and proven stable/complete before
trying to bring these back to Canonical. I'm also going to need to go
through a few security reviews. A couple of these will never make it
into their server because of required resources and downloading new
content.

I'd like to see at a minimum the theme and the header module out there.
I'd also like to see the countdown banner out there as well.

[insert: rude joke] :P You just left that way to open.

The more testing I can get from the community, the sooner I can start
pushing for security reviews. :)
