http://projects.kde.org/robots.txt asks search engines not to index the repository, but the project information, news, etc. should be indexable. See https://www.google.com/search?q=site:projects.kde.org for stuff that does get indexed currently. Both of these blocks were done for server performance reasons: search engines wer crawling the hell out of dynamically-generated repository history and bringing our servers to their knees. -- Nicolás
