Current status of the frameworks branch of kdelibs4-based games

[Frederik Schwarzer]

Hi,

in our IRC channel, we link to http://developer.kde.org/~cfeck/
portingstatus.html which forwards me to https://devel-home.kde.org/~cfeck/
portingstatus.html which is 404.

I remember that link being ... weird ... a year ago when it pointed to the 
community wiki and thus broke as well.

Question is: is that link really 404 or is it (still) just a HTTPS redirect 
thingy playing games with me?

Cheers,
Frederik
