Sorry, it's clear now :) the website should be working fine, I'm
checking this now.

I'm using a mysql database to store consolidated data about KDE commits since
accessing them directly would imply in long access times. In addition,
a java servlet
provides the services for querying data about specific KDE projects.
Certainly wouldn't
be worthy to create this infrastructure in KDE server only for this
(not so important) applet.

I'll think in some other solution.

Thanks,
Sandro
