Native Linux Companion App

Problem Definition

Since Confluence 6.11 the Edit Files feature works with the Atlassian Companion app.

The Companion App is available for Mac and Windows, but we don't have a release for Linux distributions.

Suggested Solution

Provide a release of the Companion App to Linux distributions.

Why this is important

Confluence users may choose to run their personal computers on Linux. This may be true for many developers, which might be the heavy users of Atlassian tools and Linux distributions.
The Edit in Office functionality used to support Linux with Open Office.

Workaround

As a workaround for now, while this is not a native solution, Confluence administrators may want to check the GoEdit App by KontextWork.

Not tested:
Linux users might want to try installing the Companion App using WINE.
