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

[Luís Gabriel]

Hi,

I'm currently working on the QML port of LCD Weather Station as a GSoC
project and I'm also identified this problem with some weather providers.
I think we should add some information (a flag, maybe) in the data engine
to indicate if the weather condition data is available or not and filter
the providers in the applet side.
What do you guys think? It would be enough for now?

Best Regards,
