I'm in need of a large repository of open source projects (around 1000 or more, the programming languages don't matter, but a good mix will be nice) for my research work. I thought of downloading projects from Github/SourceForge/Codeplex, but I cannot find the right API's to do it.
Does anyone know whether it is possible to download projects from the aforementioned websites (Like, how Twitter allows us to grab tweets from the public time-line)? Or any other place where I can get a good mix of open source projects?
Pretty much all open source repositories allow remote access via the appropriate source control provider - so the simplest way to download all the projects from Github would be to use git. Even if there's no API for it, all you need to do is find the right URL for each repo, and scraping something like the "explore" page should be easy.

Our company wants to build a message-sharing system in intranet, like twitter or facebook but with file attachment in order to share messages or files quickly.
I have surveyed some micro-blogging systems like below:
Google Wave (discontinued)
Sharetronix (not free for enterprise use)
wordpress + p2 theme (not easy for user management)
Because that the sharing messages do not very important for our business,
we would like to build it like twitter, not forum-like systems.
Besides, if using CMS like Drupal or joomla, it's much fat for our purpose.
Is there any suggestion about this?
Thanks a lot.
maybe a spin on StatusNet might help solve your problem. I mention "spin" (read: modification) because you mentioned files.
To add to #darkphoenix, status.net now allows for attachments and whatnot:
http://status.net/wiki/Attachments
I'm not sure what the real goal of this might be, but some chat programs would allow for file transfers. Would be fairly light-weight, I imagine, but I have not looked into them.

Is there a decent website or service out there where developers can propose a new idea for an open source project (regardless of language) and have the community vote it up / down, form teams, and do everything that precedes writing the first line of code?
There is the SomeBodyMakeThis reddit. Also, project sites like SourceForge allow you to create a project which is in the "planning" stage. Often, this is used by people who think they have a good idea and want somebody else to make it for them.
Kind of like Kickstarter (for funding), SourceForge (for hosting), or an IdeaStorm (for brainstorming and community feedback)? The Apache Foundation, or the Horde project (for incubating a plethora of related projects)? It really depends on to what your idea relates. Try joining one of the relevant extant open-source communities and sounding off on your idea.

I've been looking into setting up and trying out Neo4j on Amazon EC2 however I seem to have hit a road block with finding documentation that I can use.
For example, this page mentions "Clustering, High Availability and Online Backup are add-on components that manage distribution and consistency over several live or offline node spaces." However, I haven't been able to find any more information on these add-ons.
http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Neo4j_in_the_Cloud
This seemingly key wiki page describing how to set up Neo4j seems to be missing some very information.
http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Neo4j_Setup_HowTo
Is anyone else using this and referencing better documentation, or am I completely missing something?
You can find some related info at this link, although the setup might depend a bit your requirements. The HA support is currently in beta, we will be able to let you test it as soon as Neo4j 1.0 is out of the door, which is before end of Jan 2010.

I wish to build a file sharing site and store the files in S3. I also wish to have different users upload their different files and be able to see them, have access to them (open, share etc.) and manage them (delete, edit etc.). I wish to set ownership for each file uploaded and access permissions for the users.
So I am thinking of using an open source CMS.
Is this a good approach? Is a CMS the right things to use here? Which is the best one to use with S3?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Max.
This idea is flying in the air. I suggest that you search Amazon Web Services solution catalog to see if somebody has created CMS bases on AWS already.

There are lots of open-source code repositories - SourceForge, Google Code, Project Kenai, etc.
Is there a one-stop place where I can find, discover, or search for open-source projects across all of these repositories? Or do I have to visit all of them to find something I'm interested in?
Edit: I should specify that I'm interested in searching project descriptions, not just lines of code. I'd like to answer, "Is there an existing tool for doing X?" - and is it actively maintained, and other higher-level questions like that.
Krugle allows you to search across open source code, open source projects and even SCM check-in comments. What's not to love?
Have you tried freshmeat.net?
There are several directories for open source software, e.g:
http://www.opensourcesoftwaredirectory.com/
http://osload.com/
Search google for "open source directory" to find others.
