1.6 bcallah 40: The Palm port was started as a fork of the Zaurus port in March 2009 with the
1.1 jasper 41: intention to make the system run on Palm Tungsten|T5. The project was later
42: approved as a semestral work at the <a href="http://www.ksi.mff.cuni.cz/en/">
43: Department of Software Engineering</a>, <a

50: As the project advanced, support for more Palm devices was added as well as
51: support for various peripherals and the project outgrew the initial agreement
1.18 bentley 52: for the semestral project.
