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'm going to start a project for my software engineering course, and I have to do a relatively hard one, something like a browser. Of course I'm not going to build a complete browser from scratch in 4 monthes, but in the first phases I have to give my analyze output to the TA. This includes use case diagrams, sequence diagrams and other UML diagrams.
since I've never done a project like this, I'm looking for diagrams of an open source project which I can get some ideas from them. Where could I find such open source projects that give me these diagrams?
If you just want to learn how the UML of a project is laid out, then one thing you could do is checkout any open source project written C#/Java/VB, import it to this tool called Altova Umodel. They have free trial version but the software itself is sold commercially.
Hope that helps..

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.

I am looking into creating a simplified version of a CRM without having to reinvent the wheel on some of the base functionality.
Would you please recommend an open source CRM product that I could use?
NOTE: I would be interested in solutions with PHP or Java.
Have you looked at SugarCRM? It's pretty mature so it might not meet your "simplified" qualifier, but if I were in your shoes I'd probably consider starting there. It started life as an open-source project and there is still a "community edition".
Consider, however, that I have little familiarity with CRM in specific, so I can't comment one way or another on the quality of SugarCRM. Good luck.
For me VTECRM 4 is the best! It's based on sugar and vtiger crm and it's easy to use. You can download it and customize. It's based on php - mysql and it's free. dowload link: http://code.google.com/p/vtecrm/source/checkout
If you want a simplifed CRM, SugarCRM is NOT the place to start.
Have a look at Tine2.0. It has a demo online, it's built with PHP and ExtJS (so it feels like a desktop application) and is very easy to modify, and has a sizable community behind it (though the owner had the "vision" to split it by language, so unless you read German well, you'll have to use Google translate most of the time)
It doesn't do Gantt charts, but it does tagging.

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.

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.
