[Kstars-devel] Some features suggestions...

[Jason Harris]

Hi Nicolas,

Welcome to the list.  Quiz mode is a great idea, and the DCOP scripting 
ability will let people create interactive behaviors like quizzes and games.  
At this point, the interactive portion of scripting is not ready, but it is 
on the TODO.  For now, you can script some pretty complex non-interactive 
"demos".  See the Script Builder tool (Ctrl+B) if you have a recent CVS 
version of KStars.

We provide constellation names to the translation teams, so it's up to them to 
translate them if they wish.  The options window provides three different 
name modes:

+ Abbreviation: a three-letter code as approved by the International Astronomy 
Union
+ Latin name
+Localized name: this is what you should select to see constellation names in 
your language.  If they have been translated, it should work.  I am pretty 
sure that they exist in the French translation.

regards,
Jason

PS- the double-post of the original message is my fault, not Nicolas's...I 
should have discarded it when I saw he joined the list and reposted :)
