I think it was only last week that a statement appeared to the effect that 
none of the people previously involved in KPilot now use a Palm device, and 
therefore no longer do any work to that end.  It called for anyone who has an 
interest in taking on maintainership and development to step up, and offered a 
box of hardware that had been used during the development to anyone prepared 
to take on the job.  You can read about it at
