A bit OT, but:
The site start date was used in the Stats module... I know Stats is to be outsourced (if I recall correctly)... Has that little need been thought of/solutioned?
IMHO, Stats and Credits are two useful little modules... I always use them.
My humble suggestion would have been that Credits stay part of core, but that it should be installed with permissions that make it only see-able by the site admin... it's a useful and quick way of checking what version you have of a particular module. Plus it's a nice way of preserving the
OS ethos of always giving credit for what's used.
Since there are no well-qualified maintainers volunteering for 'Stats', 'Credits', 'legal' and 'banners', I'd be willing to adopt them. I could only do superficial work on them (maintain the templates, for instance, and update the browsers and
OS's seen by 'Stats'), but that might be better than nothing until either a better maintainer presents or until I learn enough to be able to modify their code... What do you devs/SC think? They're not very complicated modules, but are all useful.
I use Banners, too, and there are a couple of little features and modifications I'd like to see implemented...
