"a ton of GREAT apps on Ubuntu are Electron apps"
-- Mark Shuttleworth
For sure, a new installer is the "top priority" issue of Ubuntu OS.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubu... returns ONLY 137332 open bugs (434 critical)
From a software developer point of view, source code is not, and will never be, knowledge (... knowledge is not wisdom).
To think that downloading an opensource application give you the 'so called power' of improving it and of having the best application for nothing (because free) is a pure mirage.
If someone download your opensource code and clone the commercial plugin you are selling, the final free product has no future, because the knowledge of how the 'core' is working, the ability of debuging/extending/improving/support it is in your hands.
The "opensource cloner" will never be able to compete with you, all that he can do is working for free (i.e. loosing money and maybe preventing you to earn the fruit of you work).
Opensource applications that can *really* compete with commercial applications are done by companies which code/maintain/understand the complete product. And these companies need to make money to pay their employees.
End of the story.

Good to kwow that script kiddies are not using tools like PostTester (http://magic-hash.com) that exploit the recent hash flaws in post requests!

They are 'opening' something that already exists : ODFDOM and jOpenDocument.
