We know that Silverlight currently in 3.0.x version - very fast transition from Silverlight 2.0.x. For those using Windows and Mac, it will not be an issue since the runtime supports those platform. The problem is with Linux users. I know that Mono guys (through Moonlight project) are doing their best to keep it up to date with Silverlight, but unfortunately they are too much behind.
How do you offer Silverlight to clients considering that facts?
If your client base has "full support for Linux on the desktop" as a pre-req, you're really in an interesting niche -- one I'd love to learn more about, btw, but not one I've ever encountered. If you're REALLY in such a situation, I guess your only viable silverlight strategy is to limit your silverlight use to not much more than is currently available via moonlight, clearly document to your Linux-rabid clients what's missing on Moonlight for them to be able to use your latest release, and endeavor (via clients involvement, involvement of your tech people, bounties for developers that add each missing features, etc) to get Moonlight up to the level you absolutely need it to be!-)

I decided to make an application that like statechart simulation tool or flowchart (such as yEd, MS visio etc.). It will be a diagram scene application. But, I have'nt decided to platform that I will use yet. Which one is suitable for this jobs?
Qt,
MS WPF,
Python
Others
well, I have only WPF platform experience but I'll share my experience in those area.
I worked almost 2 years for developing in desktop application using WPF(I know it was 1~3 millions $ project). and some portion of my job is developing and maintaining diagram based canvas with telerik libraries.
but the first, I want to recommend you to choose your program going to be a .net-based/cross-platform/web-based.
If you choose that you are going to make windows application and those diagram chart, then WPF and telerik may be a one of good choices.

I want to develope a native app (for Android and IOS, later Windows Phones, too. It will be designed for tablet computers like IPad etc.). It is an Enterprise application connecting to the database.
What is very important to me, is:
User Experience: It has to have this native Look-In and must be really attractive.
Performance: It has to have a high performance.
So with regard to the points I mentioned, I am looking for a framework offering the best components and controls for native development. Of course, it would be desirable to use an cross platform framework but for native apps.
I tried out Xamarin and read a bit about Appcelerator Titanium.
So referring to the criteria I mentioned, what is the best framework to develop my app?
Personally I would go for Xamarin. It's based on the mono project which is now quite mature. Xamarin have recently partnered with companies such as Microsoft and SAP.
I've generally found the troubleshooting to coding ratio higher for titanium than Xamarin. In my opinion Xamarin is the stronger platform; albeit a commercial product.

I have no prior knowledge on Mobile application development so these might sound a naive question. Basically my requirement is to develop an application that will work on multiple platforms like Android, Blackberry and iOS. Hence, I wanted to know how well is Worklight suited for the job. Basically I wanted to know:
Q1: What are the technical or functionality concerns of Worklight that one should know before going for it.
Q2: Is it better than PhoneGap?
Q3: What are the basic skill sets required for a person to work on Worklight other than Java.
Q4: Are there any Hardware requirements that might be specific to Worklight applications and might cause the developed mobile app to not function on the phone?
I would be grateful to anyone who could help me out.
Thanks in advance.
You must buy a license if you intend on going to Production; the free Developer Edition may not be used for that purpose. It's not for individuals or small businesses, but for medium to large businesses. Other than that, it depends on your end goal.
Worklight cannot be better than Cordova in the sense that Cordova is bundled within Worklight. So anything you can do in Cordova, you can do in Worklight and add on top of this all the features that Worklight provides you with (and for this, please, just take a look at the Worklight website and Information Center).
You need to know HTML, CSS and JavaScript at a decent to very good level. If you want more, you need to know languages such as Java, Objective-C, C#.
No.

We've made this monitoring tool at our company.
It's not in our line of business so we might as well opensource the tool, and maybe someone else likes it as well, maybe they'll contribute.
The tool runs on AppEngine, so there are so the are some paths in the appengine configuration, that might be a good idea to keep hidden. Unless someone else wants to start using our appengine qouta.
Is there a best practice for open-sourcing AppEngine applications?
Does anyone have any experience to share regarding opensourcing appengine sites?
You can get some ideas from excellent gae-init. The way its working in order to avoid exposing sensitive information, is moving it in a stand alone project, you can even use gae-init for that ;)
As part of the model is a Config class which holds all the information as it concerns the service and its dependencies. There are some default values there but it can also be easily customized from a web interface called admin. Have a look.

How hard is it to transition from WPF to Silverlight?
Would you say that a developer who knows WPF can pick up Silverlight with ease?
It's fairly easy to pick up Silverlight if you know WPF. There are some subtle differences, but most of the concepts apply.
The largest stumbling block is dealing with things that are unsupported in Sliverlight. You often need convoluted workarounds for things that are easy in WPF but unsupported in Silverlight (such as IMultiValueConverter).
One of the most important things to get used to is the browser that sandboxes your Silverlight Application. Of course you can use the out-of-browser version and that opens quite a few options but it will still not be like WPF.
You might miss the full .NET functionality you are used to in WPF but the Silverlight runtime is pretty rich.
