I am playing around with the idea of starting a specialized wiki. I think having a reputation system would greatly increase the user's motivation on such a site. The original wikipedia does indeed have a reputation system but it is not comparable to the one used on the stackexchange network.
Hence my question:
Is there an open-source reputation system for Wiki's like the one used at stackexchange?
IMHO it is very hard to calculate reputation for a real Wiki in the SO-way. If you let the users vote for articles, how you distribute this reputation amongst the editors? After the count of edits? After the amount of added bytes? Both variants could be played to gain more reputation, and that wouldn't improve the article. That's why I would be very careful about that.
The authors of that paper contributed work to the WikiTrust project. While it is not "SO" like in function, it's "batch mode" seems like it might be helpful. It demonstrates extraction of detailed author history for an article. Using WikiTrust in "online mode" would add reputation coding to all the pages.

in my spare time I create open source projects which I hosted at google code in the past but apparently google limits the maximum number of projects to 25 which is not what I want.
I have many small projects that I want to share and showcase.
What would be your choice? I know github and sourceforge but I couldn't find information about their limitations so I'm not sure.
Where would you host more than 25 projects?
My choice would be GitHub. I don't believe they impose restriction on the number of public repositories you may have, they only ask you to keep under 1Gb each.
You can use:
github
sourceforge
I'm using github a lot more than the second..

I am seeking some more knowledge about MySQL queries. I've been working on building myself as a programmer and now I need to know more about MySQL advanced techniques.
I need to learn about MySQL JOIN queries, CASE, MAX..., everything that I don't already know.
I would really appreciate some links to useful articles with in-depth explanations of advanced MySQL. If you know any good video tutorial about learning MySQL, suggest it, I'm gonna purchase it.
Sorry if this question seems useless to any of you, but it's important to me since I can't keep asking SQL related questions here, I have to learn to do stuff myself.
Thanks.
Having picked up on a couple keywords (video tutorial, purchase), combined with your interest in building your skill set, I'd recommend looking into a subscription on http://www.lynda.com/
Depending on the programming language you're using in conjunction with MySQL, I'd also recommend looking into PDO (assuming you aren't already familiar with it).
Some helpful PDO articles, to supplement your existing knowledge of MySQL:

http://www.phpro.org/tutorials/Introduction-to-PHP-PDO.html

I'd be more helpful, but I can only provide as much information as the question itself.

I am looking for the current recommendations for all-inclusive open source ALM system, essentially an open source alternative to Microsoft's Team Foundation Server.
I have found two so far, Jabox and Endeavour.
Are there any others that you know of?
If you have experience with Jabox or Endeavour, can you comment on their relative merits?
I am looking specifically for all-in-one ALM solutions like Jabox and Endeavour, rather than individual applications like Jenkins, Bugzilla, TestLink, etc.
Two popular ones are OSEE from Eclipse.org and Tuleap.
Atlassian family of products can be considered as a single product. As far as I know they are open source and Atlassian gives them for free if you are developing an open source solution.

I was looking for a open source library for generating automated summaries out of few words. For ex: if two qualities are given of a person a) good thinking skills b) bad handwriting, i need to generate a sentence like "Bob has good thinking skills however needs to improve on his handwriting". I need to know if any open source library could help me achieve it even partially.
Thanks for help!

You could start with MEAD. Not sure what sort of mileage you'll get with single-sentence summarization, but you may be able to do some post-processing on the output and manage it.
It would take a bit of work, but you could also construct something out of NLTK and one or more the associated databases (eg. WordNet). Python, open source.

How much better would commercial OCR software be compared to the stuff that's available online for free?
More specifically: Reading text in pictures (things like book covers etc...)
I work with OCR quite a lot and can definitely vouch that the commercial offerings are much better than what you can find out there for free. Yes, you can make a free one 'work', but it will take a lot of effort for sub-optimal results.
I recommend finding a product that uses the ABBYY FineReader : It does a great job with little configuration.
You may want to consider whether you need to use an SDK provided by the OCR supplier or an end-user application. The SDK will provide position details, etc of what it finds and offer a lot more in-depth control, but will be more expensive. The end-user package will basically just read everything it finds, but you may be able to set it to automatic or control it rudimentally and it might be good enough for what you're trying to do, and may be a lot cheaper.
Get a trial version and give it a go!
