How do I get the plasmoid repository

Question

I had a load of plasmoids, beginning with plasma-widget- and kde-applet and kde-plasmoid-, which I think I had added from a PPA, but I can't for the life of me find which one it is (I did a fresh install). I have already tried the backports (first PPA I added anyway), but it isn't the one.
