Why Vanikoro ?


Vanikoro is the place where you will find Astrolabe. 

The Captain came up to me, put his finger on one spot on the chart, and said this single word : "Vanikoro."
The effect was magical! It was the name of the islands on which La Perouse had been lost! I rose suddenly.
"The Nautilus has brought us to Vanikoro?" I asked.
"Yes, Professor," said the Captain.
"And I can visit the celebrated islands where the Boussole and the Astrolabe struck?"
"If you like, Professor."

Why Vanikoro and not Astrolabe ? Because the name Astrolabe was yet used by another project at sourceforge.

When will Astrolabe be available ?

As soon as possible. I hope to be able to provide the first version before the end of May.
