as the final project for a programming course I took I've made a small tool which deals with databases issues. It works and I think it could be useful to others, so I'd like to put the code on the net to see if it actually is.
I'm aware of various source code hosts such as GitHub or Google Code, however they seem more oriented towards group development and I'm not sure if they're good for individual complete projects as well. I'm not saying I'm opposed to collaboration, but those platforms just seem a bit too much for something so simple.
Does anyone have any idea on how I should share the code?

Github would be fine - just because git allows multiple developers on a project doesn't mean it is required.
Most of the complexity is there if you need it but you do not have to ever visit those screens. The last time I looked at the network view for my more complex projects was a long time ago!

I'm running an open source project and I'm wanting to externalize development discussions that we have been having by email, make them public and allow anyone to take part in the conversation. For this, I've been thinking about setting up a mailing list.
Given this, is a mailing list currently the be "device" for this. If so what do people think is the best tool to use for this? Is Google Groups still the best tool for mailing lists, is there something people that OSS is gravitating more towards? Surely there is something better, Google Groups seems outdated.
GNU Mailman is a very popular package used on mailing list servers; you may want to use this to manage and process your list.
Maybe Librelist? A number of open source projects is using it such as Flask. Librelist.com

I'm just about to rewrite my personal site as a learn-as-you-go project and am thinking of open-sourcing the code (see this question).
Are there any examples of large-ish web sites (not desktop applications) which have made their code open-source? Or is this generally thought of as a bad idea because it would be easier for a malicious hacker to find any security holes in the code?
WordPress is the best example, I can think of in your case.
And, the security implications come from the loopholes, you might leave by mistake or in coding process. But, then when you are open-sourcing the project, a lot of people may contribute and help you resolve those issues, which is how WordPress also works. They have a bug-tracker setup for them for this purpose.

I love to learn new and better ways to program from good opensource applications written in desired language/using such technology. Now I am digging into Grails and I didn't succeded in searching great and usable opensource application written in Grails. I tried googlecode, github and even the community page on grails documentation webpage. Find nothing really top quality application (missing documentation, too simple and so on). Maybe I missed some, but maybe users of grails have their loved famous app. Could someone recommend me any?
Thank you.
There is a list of open source projects based on Grails here: http://www.grails.org/OpenSource+Projects
One of the best is Graeme Rocher's Building Twitter in 40 minutes demo.

As a Microsoft .NET developer I have noticed a marked increase in the number of new Open Source frameworks and software tools that directly impact how your design a software solution. So much so that if you don't happen to be talking to the right person at the right time you may miss a whole major development. I started to wonder if there is anyone out there who is tracking and charting the "most active open source projects" over time. To be able to visualize what are the up and coming and most active open source projects appearing in any given space/category (e.g c#/web development space) would be incredibly useful. Searching around on the web I have only managed to find visualizations of specific projects (e.g. code_swarm and Gource) but nothing tracking Open Source projects over-all.
Do you know of any such sites?
http://www.ohloh.net/ is such a website - provides description, summaries and categorization for many open source projects; shows info about commit activities and lots of other useful info.
for an example check this out - http://www.ohloh.net/p/jQuery/analyses/latest
Hope this helps :o)

I've seen some complex, enterprise tools for requirements like Rymatech's FeaturePlan -- is there something that enables collaboration and best practices for putting Business-Readable, Domain-Specific (or natural language) requirements and acceptance criteria in place?
Have a look http://sourceforge.net/projects/rth/. An open source tool for requirements management.
You may want to try www.tracecloud.com . Its free (up to 500 requirements) and I have seen some good reviews about it.
There's also GatherSpace - http://gatherspace.com/
I tried it a bit about a year ago. Didn't stick for me, but might work for you.
You could also take a look at SpiraTest which does requirements and test management, some people I know have had some success with it.
