I noticed the extreme lack of Image Magick, and think it would be an excellent addition.

Seeing as the stupid "Uptime-Project" images are gone, I think it'd be cool to write a script that would update and create an image displaying the stats anyway (and perhaps let users place the text themselves), putting it on cron.

It also has a bunch of different programming interfaces, which I'm sure that someone will request eventually ;)

If you could also install the Perl, Python, and C++ interfaces (probably the three most likely to be used), that would be great.

If not, I'm sure using "system()" commands would work, too :P

[EDIT]: It's also evident that the XML::Simple perl mod is not installed; it would also be appreciated :D

Why do you need Image Magick? We have GD, it will achieve your purpose.

Argue your case matey

Alright, looks like I have no case then :P I didn't know we had a graphics-creation library installed.

If you're adamant about GD, then please install this software:
(Perl) GD::Simple
(Perl) XML::Simple
(Perl) LWP (and make sure LWP::Simple is installed)
(Python) GD Python

Even if you don't like my heartfelt plea for the GD libraries, XML::Simple and LWP are needed badly. :D
