Dear Mr Wolf,
Thank you very much for such a quick response and for your feedback :)
Maybe, after all the time I put in this, I do not wait until next year but
try to collaborate with Stellarium in the following months :) I will be
attentive to the mailing list and the bug tracker and see if I can be of
any help.
And I will also try with other SOCIS projects, do not worry! Thank you
again for the quick response :)
Best regards,
Alejandro
