Most open source wiki and CMS engines host user-contributed themes/plugins in directories whose code, strikingly, is not itself released as open source software. Possibly the best example is WordPress' own plugin/theme directory, offering support for one-click plugin installation as well as plugin metadata, screenshots, changelogs, system requirements information, community rating, categories/tags and so on. The WordPress plugin directory is built on a collection of open source software and works as an interface to an SVN repository, allowing contributors to self-maintain their code.
Is anyone aware of an open source engine with similar features to allow the hosting and community-driven maintenance of themes and plugins?
Drupal is open source and hosts community driven themes and modules.
Sure. MEF is a great way to set up your own extensibility framework. But, it won't be a turnkey solution. You will need to tailor it to your application by providing the interfaces that the plugins will have to implement.

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 have to manually migrate a Joomla website to another server (shared hosting). Our current site is still an old joomla version (1.5.9) so I wanted to start from a clean install (1.5.22) and then migrate everything. Are there any components that would help with this?
I learned the DB schema is identical so I could just restore my old database but how to quickly migrate all components/modules/plugins with their settings and the general settings coz I assume those are not stored in the DB? So any component that can export-import all that?
I only have FTP access to both account btw.
I would seriously suggest downloading a copy of the site, creating a local install, doing the upgrade and then uploading the upgraded version to your new server.
Of course the complexity will depend on how frequently content change on your site.
I suggest you to use Akkeba Backup, it is a good and popular extension.
It installs as a component and provides a backup functionality at the Joomla backend (/administrator).
About the update, take a look here.
Download Joomla_1.5.9_to_1.5.23-Stable-Patch_Package.zip and extract it into your joomla installation, preferably on your new installation.

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.

Say I would like to host my open source software by myself, i.e. not in sourceforge or google code but host my own svn and issue tracker and documentation on my server.
What is the best software for doing that?
A lot of people like trac.
Well you'd use trac + subversion server on your own machine.
But there is assembla.com, and also xp-dev.com, if you don't like the licensing forced on you by the websites you listed.
Redmine is a nice alternative to trac.
I would recommend to host with dreamhost or webfaction. They both offer hosted svn services. For documentation, you can go with mediawiki, if you want.
Note: I'm not affiliated with those 2 host, I just use dreamhost not webfaction, but from googling the net, I found out that webfaction is better than dreamhost.
Try BitNami packages for Redmine or Trac, they are easy to use installers that you can run on your server (there are also virtual machines available as well)

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
