Hi

I think Aleksey has made very valid points. If we were to rewrite
KStars today, we would probably separate out the GUI from the catalog
data from the computational engines, and redesign it very differently.

Unfortunately, our codebase organization is far from ideal, and there
are no tests written anywhere (except for the ones Rishab wrote).

I think this is most important.

Also, I have updated the TODO list in the main directory on git, and
it would be nice if you could add some stuff there too. Especially
move those bugs which you find particularly annoying from bugs.kde.org
to the TODO list, so they get more attention.
