I would like to know what are your plans with Friar, will you maintain it, will you add more features to keep the same functionality's as Baker ?

If someone propose you to add new features, is it something possible? If yes, under which terms?

I'm trying to maintain it as best as possible - I created Friar to meet my modest needs and it has been successful. However, I realize that others may have more requirements, but that's the beauty of open source; anyone can take it and make it better. As a result, I won't actively follow Baker's features, but if someone requests a Baker feature that is not currently in Friar I'll try my best to make it compatible, time permitting.

Please keep in mind that Android and iOS are very different operating systems with different security protocols and hardware; as a result, there are some things that I cannot easily make compatible.

The most glaring example is Laker Compendium's tap navigation - since it uses a client side include JavaScript which Android does not support, the menu does not work in Android. See https://github.com/hanchang/friar/issues/12#issuecomment-11634077 for more details.

I am available for consulting to help complete an Android application. My rate is $2000 USD per work week (Monday through Friday) and I will be solely working on your project during every week and available during at least an 8 hour timeframe of your choosing that I am engaged. My only condition is that generic features should be allowed to be incorporated back into Friar as open source.

Hope that helps!
