Dear Bernard, It's hard for senior executives to imagine a world where their company could lose control, Wikinomics book by Dan Tapscott ans Anthony Williams say, but it's just what we live for: making the world a better place and things easier for all. Please, consider making your property sofware open source. Many people would be benefitted. Best regards, Névio

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.
