I personally think that our current infrastructure cannot handle any
more services, specially as widely/frequently used ones as a dictionary
or weather service (and I am not sure it will ever be able to host such
a thing). And for their being publicly available, I am not sure if
gnome.org would be the correct place to host them (at least as long as
we have pending improvements for our own services).

GNOME has a huge number of users, and even non-GNOME users might start
using our service if it is good too, which will almost certainly
overload us. Is there a way we could host only a list of dictionary
servers? That way I think it might be closer to something feasible.

Cheers,
