Digested

In the January 2006 Linux Journal there is a letter from Doug Phillipson describing his interaction with the KStars developers in getting his telescope driver to work. Jasem Mutlaq helped this motivated user to debug the drivers and the whole process measurably improved the software. The experience was summed up "fun, pleasurable, fast and most of all free".

What a pleasant contrast to the recent annual/biannual/quarterly/monthly gnome/kde/linux desktop/Qt/GTK/C/C++ flame fest.
