Interested in helping develop KStars? We need programmers, of course, but even if you don't code, we can still use your help. If you are an astronomy enthusiast, there is our AstroInfo project. We could also use help writing documentation and translating. Even bug reports and feature requests are a big help, so keep them coming!
You can also subscribe to the kstars-devel mailing list to keep up with the latest KStars activities.
