Doing banner notifications through ajax to a static server would be quite cute.

It seems quite likely you want to be able to set or change banner
notifications while lp is readonly.  Wouldn't that be a problem with
storing them there?

Perhaps storing them in a file is an easier way to get started?  The
feature has been wanted but stalled for a long time, and it seemed to
me this might shortcut some of the hard parts.
