[Kstars-devel] Bug Report from a user

[Jason Harris]

Hi Thomas,

Good stuff.  We can't add any strings until we have a 3.2 branch, so can you 
just hold on to the changes until then?  If you are worried about forgetting 
them, there is a bug report to which I have been adding new cities as people 
submit them.  Why not add these cities as a comment to that bug?

thanks,
Jason
