We have started the AstroInfo project to address this problem. AstroInfo is the beginning of an interactive encyclopedia of astronomy for which KStars will be the user interface and demo engine. Right now, it’s just a collection of HTML pages on various astronomy-related topics, with a particular focus on the terms that KStars uses. These articles are presented later in this document. AstroInfo is supposed to be a community effort, like GNUpedia or Everything2. If you’d like to contribute an article to AstroInfo, please let us know!
