You totally misunderstood what I wrote: the KDE Observatory data engine uses 
Sandro own website and it seems down.
It's not about moving the code, it's about the webservice.
The applet displays nothing for me and in the konsole output I see
plasma-desktop(22814) KdeObservatory::engineError: Source: "allProjectsInfo" 
Error: "Unknown host sandroandrade.org"
I suggested to see if Sandro could use a KDE server or kde-files.org instead of 
his own webspace (which is generally not our policy).

Probably my mail was not clear enough that it was about web services hosting 
and not about the code itself which is fine in kdeplasma-addons.

If you are hosting the service on your own space because KDE does not provide 
the server you need then we should address that. Unfortunately I'll be away 
for a couple of weeks (maybe more) without proper internet at my parents' home 
but when I am back I could start to initiate a work group on this and GHNS. 

There's no urgency though.

Best regards,
