I know what Mono is but I don't understand why it exists. Why do Novell sponsor the project? I ask the question because I would like to use Mono but I have concerns over its future/commitment. If I better understood why the projects exists I'd feel better about using/recommending it.
How else would any .NET code run on Unix/Linux/iOs?
It exists because Miguel De Icaza saw .NET, liked it and wanted to have it available on Linux. Knowing that Microsoft will probably not port the platform, he decided to do it himself.
Since the code is open source, it is not going away anywhere.
I don't have any inside dope, but I'm not aware of a story other than an interested party that knew Microsoft was unlikely to port .NET to *nix platforms took on the task. It started as open source and picked up Novell sponsorship after it achieved some measure of success.
I don't believe a "better" story would help you feel more comfortable about recommending it. No one knows the future, and Novell's sponsorship isn't a guarantee of success.

I am in the market for a raspberry pi or alternative. I've done quite a bit of research but I can't find a raspberry pi alternative that is both more powerful, but also has the same community and add on options. So, can anyone suggest an alternative?
Note:I want one for recreation, I.E. building a robot arm, but I also want to run a low scale server.
Thanks in advance!
I love following #cnxsoft on Twitter and his blog at http://www.cnx-software.com/.
I suggest you to go to his blog and see tags like http://www.cnx-software.com/tag/development-board/ there is every week at least one new board with more and more powerful processors and lower prices... Find one that fits your needs(OS, Pins...)
I'm also not sure why this is marked with tags like "xamarin-studio" :)
I am not sure if this is the right forum, the scope seems too broad. So don't be surprised if this is closed as offtopic.
Can you say what alternatives you have looked at so far?
Try looking into the following and see if they fit your requirement :
http://arduino.cc/en/ArduinoCertified/IntelGalileo
http://beagleboard.org/black
I think you are thinking of the bananapi, or the hummingboard.

I'm wondering if there is any Wiki solutions that perfectly fit an API documentation and let you nicely list the end points and parameters/responses.
Any recommandations?
Thanks
take a look at MindTouch.
API Documentation is one of the ways the developer site http://developer.mindtouch.com makes use of the product
Not a direct answer to this question but definitely a good starting point to help you get answered:
I had the same questions and initially thought PBWorks since that's who Twitter originally used for their API Wiki and in the past I've used Google Sites (on the Kwwika Wiki) since it's effectively a wiki.
I'm sure that if you want a more automated solution that will allow you to auto create your wiki from a build process then there will be solutions such as Read the Docs.
All this said I think a really good starting point is WikiMatrix and their Wiki Choice Wizard.

I'm learning and doing projects on Grails, but for now it's a little boring because of the repetitive work (GORM, fix bug,...) . I want to "play" a little: making something simple, but useful, so that I can get inspired again with the programing work. For example, I think of something like Workrave, or RainCalendar, or Google StreetView.
The problem is that I'm just a lone programmer, and don't have lots of time for developing my own software. So I posted this question to ask for:
Some idea about a simple-coding program, but useful, interesting (funny is a bonus).
Some where (online) for programmer like me can find interesting project to join? I can code C, C++, Java, Grails and PHP. But other languages is also welcome.
I'll appreciate any idea from everyone.
To Answer your Second question:
sourceforge
And that has a lot of projects running so take a look at their Project Help Wanted board
then join the one you like.
And that should in turn answer your first question

Should I still drive on with FrontPage, or should I bite the bullet and learn (and buy -- ouch) DreamWeaver?
I'm not a webmaster, just an amateur. My humble personal website was created years ago with FP 98 after a weekend's class and its textbook.
So I'd like to stay with FP, even if the program long ago lost its support from Microsoft.
But I've got a copy of FP2003 and a big, thick book from Microsoft Press called MS FP Inside Out.
Will websites I create, whether for non-profits or my son's business, be readable by modern browsers?
That question probably betrays my ignorance, but had to ask before I devote hours and hours to the program and the book.
Thanks.
Microsoft also have Expression Web. In the past week or so, I replaced SpiderWriter (even older than your FrontPage) with Expression Web 4. Still learning my away around, but not as buggy as SpiderWriter and it hasn't produced obfuscated HTML (something Frontpage was infamous for).

Does anyone know why magento does not provide any manual or developer guide?
All most every framework and CMS provides an official development manual but in the case of magento I did not find any official manual which surprised me.
Learning magento is hard because they are making this thing hard.
The best resource you will find is Alan Storm's blog and he has recently written an oustanding series on the Knowledge Base called "Magento for Developers". Both of those will give you exactly what you are asking for in terms of customizing Magento. First, you must know the framework, then you can understand how to customize and extend it. Otherwise you are just hacking.
