Hi Bernard,
By open-sourcing your work the community gains from your work; however, this generally forms a positive reciprocity loop whereby the community will feed back into your contributions with their own enhancements, ideas, and bug fixes from which you will then benefit.
Cheers, Rob.

We have build many extensions to improve the functionality of MediaWiki. It is for Enterprise use as Knowledge management infrastructure. The name of the extensions and additional functionality is Wikibox Blue. The software is propriety.
It can be hosted as SAAS
Today there has been a request if automatic signing of thread is possible in the discussion page. This is standard functionality in WikiForum. Which can be used in the talk namespace.
But it is propriety software. So it can not be used.
My question is here : Please convince me I have to make my propriety software open source.
With some conditions : *I decide if I make Wikibox Blue Open source *I decide when Wikibox Blue will be Open source *I decide on which conditions Wikibox Blue will be open source.
If you respect these conditions please try to convince me I should do it. Keep in mind it is a mayor step for me and my company.
