Discontinuation of Alfresco Share? - alfresco-share

We are using Alfresco (Share/Repository) as a basis for our ECM-Software.
Recently I have found a lot of hints towards the discontinuation of Alfresco Share throughout the web. I have not, however, found solid information like a roadmap or official word from Alfresco.
Has anyone solid information as to if and when Share will finally be discontinued? Has it already been communicated what the intended replacement of share is?

Using LinkedIn API's in 2019

Looking around it is currently unclear to me whether or not LinkedIn allows 100% usage of all their API's. I see many sources from as long ago as 2017 saying "not unless you're a partner" and sources from 2018 saying "they brought the feature back" but I can't seem to find it or rather: they have 2-4 websites with their application creation and/or documentation and there is not a clear answer anywhere as to which one is the place with the current up-to-date documentations and application creation/approval.
Has anyone in the past year developed with LinkedIn's API's and could they point me in the right direction?
Can I develop on a POC, e.g. something like http://localhost[insertport] or do I have to use a live website? (which would be dumb, but whatever)

Yes, you can use localhost for development

Sage Evolution website integration

A client asked us if it's possible to have the products on their website integrated with Sage Evolution so that when products are purchased online by users the stock values on Sage Evolution will be updated as well. The client would like this to be integrated with their existing WordPress site.
From what I've found so far, I don't think there's anything already available to use with WordPress except the SagePay through WooCommerce plugin. I'm not quite sure if this connects to a Sage client and updates the stock as well.
I found a Sage Evolution SDK that can be used but I doubt the client would buy with that kind of fees. There's also the SData api which I found here: Integrating with Sage Financial Software.
I'm not sure if you can use SData with Sage Evolution.
I would appreciate any help on this, thank in advance :)
As you've already noted, Sage Evolution has its own SDK and does not use the SData standard. Developers need to purchase a developer license and end-customers need to purchase a customer license.
I'd strongly recommend you don't go straight to the database as direct db writes could compromise transactional integrity and the Evolution database tends to change structurally quite frequently.
To use the SDK, you can't avoid the customer license fee but you can get a head start and avoid coding the integration by hand with Flowgear (www.flowgear.net). The Community plan is free and supports low transactional volumes.

Public Share link in Alfresco Community edition 4

I saw that the Alfresco Cloud edition has nice share/publish features:
(source: alfresco.com)
Now I could not find this in the community edition, even though I found a place in the Admin Console under Content Publishing called Channel Manager where you can add different publish channels. I did not find a way to make use of them though!
Still my main question would be how to be able to generate public links for non users to access certain files.
Thanks!
The Alfresco Cloud is very new (it only went GA last week!). As such, it features quite a few new bits since the latest Alfresco Community 4.0 release, which came out at the start of the year. The "Public Share" feature is one of those.
The Alfresco 2012 Product Roadmap has been announced, which should give you an idea of what features are likely to be coming in the next Community Release, later this year. Almost all of the new features from the Cloud have either already been merged to Head already, or will be merged before the next Community release. I don't know if the public sharing will be merged or not (you'd need to pin down one of the product managers for a definitive answer on if that's something that'll be merged to community/enterprise, or if it's something that's too specific to the Cloud setup (so can't easily be re-used by other setups). In the mean time, you can keep an eye on the checkins to HEAD!
(If the feature you're interested in from Cloud has already been committed to head, then you can grab a nightly build and start playing with it aleady!)

File sharing through ASP.NET

I am working on a web application where different users (online users) may share files with each other. I don't know how to implement this module, mean what should I study and search. It should be similar as we share files at FaceBook. I am working in ASP.NET/C#.
Any help, code etc will be appreciated. I have searched on Google but all results lead to
file sharing softwares which are not helpful for me.
Thanks
Tutorial here could you be good starting point. Not only the tutorial is very descriptive but also you can download the complete source code.

Paypal PayFlow Pro Asp.Net configuration

So, this does not necessarily have to do directly with the code itself, although it is certainly a component of it.
I recently downloaded and installed the PayFlow Pro SDK for use with ASP.net
link here:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/library_download_sdks
I installed this to my development machine. I also came accross this example code which I figured outlined the primary setup for basic Paypal Credit Card Transaction functionality.
link here:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/PayPal_PayflowPro.aspx
Anyways, I have two main questions
Do I have to install the SDK on the web hosts server in order to utilize the functionality of it? This seems to make sense, however, the tutorial in the second link suggests I create a web reference. Unless I am not understanding something here, wouldn't this just strictly work on my development machine, or at least, the functionality of the remote website that references this web reference to access the sdk, would this not be dependent on my computer running and broadcasting this information?
I just need clarification on how to install and/or access the sdk for use on a remote webhosts server (ie. do i need to install the sdk on the web-hosts server and if so, how would one go about doing so (ie. where to install, how to install)?).
Are there any other clean cut examples like my second link provides, that sort of outline the basic functionality of Payflow Pro? I find paypal's examples numerous and convoluted and their online slides/video tutorials to be tedious.
Perhaps I should just get off my lazy ass, but I have found peers from the general community to be much more informative in a way more efficient manner, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
For anyone interested, after enough searching I found a great example that notified me of all the fundamental processes to creating a basic transaction and allowed me the knowledge to further manipulate the sdk.
