[Kstars-devel] Linux Journal and Telescope Control

[Jason Harris]

Hmm, interesting.  Did they mention KStars or INDI at all?  Seems like quite 
an ommission if they didn't.  Although maybe since there's no "official" 
release with these features, they don't consider it available.  Still, they 
should have at least mentioned that a GPL'd alternative exists...
