It's unlikely you'll get any interest in people porting KUAL to Duokan or much help with Duokan, it's not well respected around here as they take the work the devs here do and use it with no credit given at all.
In fact without the Jailbreak from here, Duokan wouldn't be installable and yet they don't even mention that.

Sorry if I'm using out of date information or if something has changed since I last read up on things.

When they release the sources they are using, according to the terms of the OpenSource licenses they are using it under - - then we might change our position.

Until then, we will remain un-supportive of their efforts.

Right!
It will be interesting to see how long it takes them to Jailbreak the PW1, PW2, KVoyage, KT2 (etc) without our help.

Note: We can Jailbreak some of those, depending on the firmware version and we can Jailbreak any of them using the serial port and our posted Jailbreak materials.

But we aren't under any economic pressures to (easily) support the newest models.
We can just wait for Amazon to drive them into bankruptcy, waiting for a way to support the non-technical user on the newest devices unless they invent it themselves.
