What are the open standard principles ?
I googled it but I am getting different answer from different website cant decide what to write
It's a pretty confusing concept because it is NOT the same as open source.
Open source means you can get the CODE and use it in whatever way you need (make your own changes etc).
Open standard means you can get the PROGRAM / TECHNOLOGY for free. To put it very roughly, open standard is that you can get a complied ".exe" executable (but no source code), and install the software at no cost, and open source means you can have the code, make your own changes, and then make your own ".exe" if you want.
HTML and XML are open standard technologies.

I've heard that charts can be generated in LinqPad and that it produces results in html. Is it possible that it could one day be used as some kind of report server?
One day perhaps.
Right now it produces bar charts.
And, exports to HTML.
And, scripts can be run via a command-line with output to stdout or file.
But, the bar charts aren't in the HTML output. If you want to handle the charting by yourself, you could try the HTML fragment mode to get just the data as XHTML.
Even so, LINQPad gets more awesome with each release!

I am slowly starting to build myself a small game engine using openGL and C++ and I thought it would be kinda nice to make it open source for the time being, problem is that I may want to eventually market it once I add in more unique or detailed features. I know most licenses for open source software state that future versions must also be open source, but given that it would be my program, would I be allowed to eventually stop making it open source?
Depend on the Open Source License you use and the way you set up your project. You could use the BSD/MIT licence and then you don't have the viral problem of the GPL/LGPL (but not the advantages either). You can also leave your main engine Open & Free and just sell your unique features.
There is many ways!

When I actually write in the wiki, where are the changes actually being stored?
I have searched the source code for keywords that i have actually written and i cant find it, which obviously means its being stored where it cannot be searched directly.
I have made changes to it i.e. written in it, but sourcetree does not seem to be recognising it.
Do you mean the site's contents? They are stored in a database file which is read and written by the code.
It would be quite unmaintainable, if not outright dangerous, to mix user-submitted data with executable code.
They are stored in a database table called page (or something similar)

You can see lots of briliant ideas in Open source projects. How authors found these ideas whey they don't exist yet?
Should I learn software dynamics, history and trends(Nothing new under the sun?) for that?
I don't want to start another github project called "API to xyz". What should I do??
Scratch an itch. Find something that you feel is a problem or annoying and write some code to solve that problem. Chances are you aren't the only person who is affected by that particular problem.
I believe a lot of software projects, open source or not, start as someone identifying a demand and working to supply it.
Think you're not satisfied with wherever photo management apps you found. Starting (or forking an existing one) with your needs in mind is an option.
What kind of software you would like to use but can find one that suits you? If yours needs are more or less supplied by already existing applications, why not working on improving one you like most?

I've been told that I should include PAD files with the freeware applications I distribute so hosting sites can list the information correctly and check for updates, etc.
Can you give me some info on using PAD files? Here are general questions which come to mind:
Is it worth the effort?
Do you use PADGen or an online tool like www.padbuilder.com?
Do you digitally sign yours?
I do use padgen, it does not take too long to make a pad file, but what takes time is submitting it... just copy+paste stuff from your marketing material into it.
keep storing all your pad files on your webserver and new version updates are listed in 1000+ small shareware/software sites automatically. however, download amounts from these sites are usually < 1000/mo.
not signed mine.
