I'm looking for recommendations on an open source toolset for WYSIWYG HTML/CSS design. What you have you found to be valuable in your work?

I briefly used Bluefish while in college, which has similar features to Dreamweaver.
Wikipedia has a good list here.

Windows
Web Applications - Microsoft Visual
Web Developer Express 2010 (Not Open Source, but powerful for large applications)
Web-Sites and Microsites - Intype +
FileZilla (Not Open Source, but faster alternatives)
Notepad++ is a quick alternative too,
that has various plugins (like FTP, [Open Source])
Mac
TextMate & Coda (I hear these are cool and sleak)

Dreamweaver equivalent for Linux
asked a similar question and my answer is still the same, aptana is cross platform. Also please note the concept that WSYWIG is not generally what you get, you may also want to look into jsfiddle.net as it is a great tool for testing concepts in a functional environment.

Suggest me any open source based platform/IDE/framework/toolkit for developing intelligent agent. I don't have any background in this area, would like to use a tool or any tutorial in building intelligent agent.
If you don't have any background at all, I suggest you start with something simple.
I had quite a good experience with dmangame, a simple Python engine where you can script the behaviour of agents.
The good point is that the installation is very simple, you know where to code your Python scripts for AI, there is a nice API for it. And you've got a nice graphical interface to see directly what you code.
Edit : By the way, look at this similar question
Weka is probably the most comprehensive open source AI toolkit. It's positioned as a tool for "data mining" but don't let that put you of - it's a general toolset for machine learning which is exactly what you need if you want to build an intelligent agent.
You can use any IDE you like with it (it's Java based so that gives you a range of great open source IDEs such as Eclipse or Netbeans, but you can also call the Weka libraries from other languages if you like).
It also has some of its own tools build it (for visualisation and exploring data sets etc.)

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.

I haven't done this in 3 or 4 years, but a client wants to downgrade their dynamic website into static HTML.
Are there any free tools out there to crawl a domain and generate working HTML files to make this quick and painless?
Edit: it is a Coldfusion website, if that matters.
Getleft is a nice Windows client that can do this. It is very configurable and reliable.
Wget can, too, with the --mirror option.
Try using httrack (or webhttrack/winhttrack, if you want a GUI) to spider the web site. It's free, fast, and reliable. It's also much more powerful than primitive downloaders like wget; httrack is designed for mirroring web sites.
Be aware that converting a dynamic page to static will lose you a lot of functionality. It's also not always possible - a dynamic site can present an infinite number of different static pages.
It's been a long time since I used it, but webzip was quite good.
It is not free, but for $35.00, I think your client won't go broke.
A quick google for offline browsers came up with this and this that look good..

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 always used to use Dreamweaver for web work, but now I work in Emacs, with Filezilla for non-text file uploads. What I miss from Dreamweaver is the easy synchronisation feature in its file manager. Is there any simple opensource software that would fill this gap for me?
I prefer WinSCP as an FTP/SFTP/SCP client, and it's one of the few clients I've seen that supports synchonised browsing similar to Dreamweaver. SmartFTP is another one that does this, but it's not free.
See http://winscp.net/eng/docs/task_navigate#synchronize_browsing
Aptana does that and it's opensource; however, sftp support is not free. I would say it is the one of the better alternatives to webdesign. Give it a try, I've been hooked
Another plus feature is the integration of jquery, python, php, and svn. The pro version includes sftp support and cloud hosting, and i think it's around $100
