Quality Team: LCD weather station and calendar (in panel) are really broken

Hi,

The LCD Weather Station applet is in a non working state and the Quality 
Team thinks it cannot be shipped as it is. The problem is that two 
providers which cover Europe had an API change (and some freedom 
restrictions?) thus the applet can't display any information for a lot 
of locations. I know it's the data engine code the culprit but the 
consequence is a non working applet.
See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300885 (Weather Station Applet 
does not work anymore with bbcuk or wetter.com provider)

Another applet is in bad shape as well: the Calendar applet when placed 
in panel. The date does not update when the day changes and the layout 
is totally broken making the calendar not readable. See 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236874 and
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285362

We hope these can be fixed as well as the regressions regularly sent to 
the list.

Best regards,

Anne-Marie
