    Purpose

    Prakash and Akarsh are at FOSS.IN/2009 and are going to do a KStars "workout". They'd appreciate any ideas for easily-doable bugs / features and hard ones too. Apart from Prakash and Akarsh, there are a few other prior KStars contributors who are present around and they'll probably be contributing during the workout.

    The purpose of this wiki page is to aggregate links to bugs / wishlists and categorize them according to difficulty, so that they can be tackled at this workout.
