 A new theme has two weeks to gather some stats before it shows up on the
 Popular page. Before it shows up on that page, I propose that the Featured
 page should become a way to promote some great themes. Based on these two
 weeks we can do the following.

 **First week**
 1. Theme goes live
 2. We gather active installs counts just for this week. If a theme has
 already active installs we subtract from them what we gather in this week.

 **Second week**
 1. The theme will show up on the Featured page and it will be ranked based
 on the stats gathered in the first week.
 2. At the end of this week the theme is removed from the Featured page and
 it follows its normal path. With some luck it can be ranked better on the
 Popular page.

 The Featured page can display all the themes for a 1 week period (that
 second week). Everybody gets some extra exposure.
