Re: [Stellarium-pubdevel] next release goals [artsat]

[F. C. <fab...@go...>]

Hi Andy!
We are all very interested by this feature :) I would be happy to give you
technical advices and give a hand on your work.
Artificial satellites is such an important feature that if you manage it, it
will be quickly promoted as a standard module :)
If you need changes in the core (classes related to solar system are the
last ones needing a clean) , please don't hesitate to modify it and send
patches.
Do you have a SVN or somewhere we can access your code?
Cheers,
Fabien
