Would it be technically possible to build a pdf splitter on appengine or is there some part of it that couldn't be done? I was thinking of a function where you just upload the pdf file, choose which pages you want and the output is e.g. one chapter from a book and this can be done online. I think it can be a good service but I don't know whether it is technically feasible or whether the best choice first this would be Java, Python, PHP or Go?

I cannot see why not. Splitting a PDF should be possible in all 4 languages so it's up to you what you pick. I know that Python performs faster than Java. PHP doesn't sound like a good fit for me and Go isn't that widely used.
I'd go with Python. There is also a Python library that allows you to split a PDF.

So, I have a desktop site that has lots of features and design specific contents which are not really suitable for mobile view (loading speed etc).
So, I want to have a separate mobile site, such as m.example.com.
I am thinking of somehow detecting that it is in either mobile or tablet view.
What would be the most appropriate tutorial that is up to date?
As for a good overview of what you might want (to do further research), you might want to take a look at this question: How to make Mobile website like m.yahoo.com (Mobile Version)?
For a good tutorial, I'm not sure if you're asking for a text tutorial or a video tutorial. I find that text tutorials give you options to go at your own pace and dive deeper in the subject. Therefore, I would suggest this tutorial: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/mobile/responsivedesign/

I need to develop a web server using c in Linux. Using that we need to start and configure services. is their any help like pseudo code or sample programs like that.
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Server-Example.html
This is a simple multi-user web server built in C. I had to do one of these last year for a class, and I find it quite cool, though a little bit frustrating.
The Apache HTTP server, the world's most popular HTTP server, is written in C. Its documentation, and source downloads are located here

I recently stumbled upon http://www.vosao.org/.
It seems to be the most advanced CMS for App engine.
Before I start coding with vosao, I wanted to know if there are tangible alternatives to Vosao?
If you are to use Vosao, you can find the content management related functions that can be invoke from velocity template in VelocityService.java . Vosao separate "Page" and "Resource"
A search on Google Code throws up many results.
I just recently moved off of my old Rackspace server running Joomla to Vosao on GAE and I've been very happy with it so far. I looked at a few Django alternatives, but Vosao seemed to be the simplest for what I needed.
Today we released a Framework, written in python, wich is attached with a package including an exampleproject. This "Projekt" has features like: News/CMS/Shop/Forum ...
It's open Source and you can download it here:

We are still translating some documentation to english ... so stay tuned...

I'm mostly concerned with documenting Controller actions, e.g http://foo.bar/app/thing/action/param. How would you recommend documenting these? I'm less interested in the method of generating the documentation (e.g. phpdoc or doxygen) and more a style of doing it. Should I list the parameters and return values as if I were documenting any other method?
In terms of format, I typically follow the same (well, similar) convention used by the CakePHP project itself (http://book.cakephp.org/view/509/Coding-Standards#Commenting-code-601). It's similar enough to JavaDoc that I found it easy to adopt and works nicely with the phpDoc engine. I do tend to include #param values as well as #return. I often find it helpful to provide a bit of additional explanation for acceptable/expected values.

I've just finished a mini-project (a graphical 2d silverlight tag cloud) and I've made the source code available on my website as a zip file - but where should I put the code to allow people to find it and evolve it if they wish? codeplex? but I guess this would count as an inactive project?
http://sourceforge.net/
Find and Build
Open Source Software
Google Code is great, free, and easy. It supports subversion.
http://www.codeplex.com/ This is run by Microsoft, which should be a fine match with Silverlight.
I recommend github.
CodeProject is good too.
It depends upon what you plan to do.
If you want to share the code with the world and open it to large cooperation, definitely go github
If you want to setup a nice web site, with a complete community with mailing lists, and a selected number of authorized contributors, go sourceforge.
Alternatively, you could use one of the sourceforge-like : google code, codeplex, savannah, berlios...
