Comment 5 for bug 738483

the module gets it's data from the project vote smart API, which is exposed
in XML and JSON, meaning that we don't need a drupal backend (or any back
end) to consume it - we can consume it on the client-side (in javascript)
and display it there. this is reasonably easy stuff, and i doubt we'd need
to store any of the data coming out of that API in our back-end.
