January 17, 2010: Android Munchkin

Last month I requested proposals to Android-ize the iPhone Munchkin Level Counter. I got a lot of "Yay! Android app!" responses, and several actual proposals, and now we've signed a contract and work is under way. Expect a progress report before mid-March. Paul's about to get an Android phone, so we can put it in a box with my iPhone and make them fight test in-house with minimum fuss.

I'm sure we're going to be doing more RFPs. One thing I learned: instead of putting it in the Illuminator proper, create a page for current RFPs, similar to the page where we post current job openings.
