Comment 15 for bug 1710443

shrI tanmoy in https://bugs.launchpad.net/stellarium/+bug/1710444/comments/19 onwards says: "Yes and that will create more confusion for most of the general users. That's why I think boundary implementation should be avoided but transliteration is very good idea. Pro user can implement this for their own use. We may provide a link in description to download the boundary.dat file but in default package it should not be included. ... I also created the boundary in first time but when I show some of my friends who uses stellarium regularly basis their opinion was it was confusing. ... " and attaches https://launchpadlibrarian.net/333918325/im2.png to illustrate the source of the confusion.

Regarding this, I observe that constellation boundaries can be toggled by the user as he desires, and they are off by default. As such, the non-serious user will not face such confusion unless they go and manually turn on boundaries for the Indian vedic skyculture. We can ward off confusion even in such a case by adding an appropriate note in the description. That should be good enough for non-serious Indian vedic skyculture users (which likely includes your stellarium user friends).

Asking serious vedic skygazers to download a boundary.dat file and copy it over to some directory by contrast is a much bigger burden, which we should avoid. Things should work well out of the box.

BTW, is there a good way of tagging particular users?
