Are there any open source URL shortening software projects out there? Perhaps something that works in conjunction with Apache?
A lot of them popped up when I did a search on Github:
https://github.com/search?langOverride=&q=url+shortener&repo=&start_value=1&type=Repositories
Does this Count? http://code.google.com/p/urly/
or this http://yourls.org/
Firefly claims it can be up & running in 2 minutes: https://github.com/ariejan/firefly#readme
Here are some other suggestions: http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/7-open-source-and-free-url-shortener-scripts-to-create-your-own/
You could do it yourself easily enough with a database. Just store each long url in the database as a key and the short one as a value. You could easily create a short one with an auto-increment field in your table. Your urls would look like this:
http://mysite.com/12345
In your server side programming language of choice, just do a look up into the table, and then do a redirect.
I use http://yourls.org/ in my shortener, very powerful and plugin enabled. You can also easily create your own pages with stats and stuff.
Here's mine:

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)

I run a small startup and have developed some web applications. We use open source technologies heavily and I want to give proper attribution to everything that we use.
The only thing I am concern about is it safe to expose everything? Such as webserver, development language and framework etc. Are there any pitfalls of doing so?
e.g. One particular concern is if some vulnerability be discovered in framework, application can be easy target until gets a patch.
The more one knows the more one can leverage. Said that, it shouldn't be to much of a problem if you build your web application with security in mind.
Shouldn't be an issue - many companies make public the fact that they use particular open source solutions.
The main pitfalls are the obvious security related ones: have you changed all the default admin passwords etc.?

Does anyone have any ideas on measuring the popularity of an open source project? I thought it would be interesting to create a tools which would compare the popularity of similar open source projects.
The first metric that came to mind was to compare the number of Google results for each specific software, but it seems difficult to programmatically obtain this number (other than scraping it from the direct search page - this also runs into legal issues with Google I believe).
Any other metric ideas? I'd like the end product to be a tool, so metrics which are able to be accessed through code would be preferred.
Thanks,
Chris
If the projects are hosted by platforms like Sourceforge or Github, you can access the number of downloads...
SourceForge offer download statistics;
http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=263007&ugn=dvwa&mode=week&type=prdownload
Google Code have activity ratings.
Maybe you could use those?

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?

(best in your own eyes) Most features? Coolest Features? Slickest Design?
Centreon?
NagVis?
Other?
Icinga (a forked Nagios)
Centreon is the best ! We use it in our company. Have a look at FAN(Fully automated Nagios) ! best best best.. and don't forget to use the lm_sensors for linux and Notify By Jabber plugin if you use Jabber and linux servers in your company and google talk ;-)
NagVis seems to be better even if only from purely aesthetic prospective. But then for me it's one of the key elements. Maybe if you would ask more specific question (what criteria do you use to define best) it could be easier to answer you question.
Thruk is a powerful interface for nagios, icinga and shinken. Features range from excel export to sending mass commands and plugins range from configuration editor to reporting and dasboard.
