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...

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/
Wish you best of luck with your developing

I am looking to create an application for exchange rate of foreign currencies and need backend for the same. While searching for the same, i came across:
http://rate-exchange.appspot.com
http://rate-exchange.appspot.com/currency?from=USD&to=EUR&q=1 //working demo
I also find the github source for this GAE project at:
https://github.com/hippasus/ExchangeRates
Now the question I have how should I proceed. Shall I use this already deployed project named http://rate-exchange.appspot.com or deploy my own version. If I should deploy my own version then what will be steps.
Thanks in advance
Generally try to use existing code with permission and visibly give credit to avoid plagiarism. Developers who repeat work already done by others learn from the experience but risk wasting time unnecessarily. You learn from others by studying their code anyway.
You may after some experience with the other project think of ways to improve it. Liaise on Github with the original author about constructive collaboration. Sharing code is what makes free and open source software great.

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.

I have a calendar (ie a set of events) that I would like to make publicly available with a technique that allows from as many platforms (windows,ios,android,...) as possible to subscribe/import to this calendar.
I've been reading for a while on solutions for sharing calendars online and I am a bit puzzled:
sometimes you are told that all you need to do is to make an ics file online available; that seems logical to me, but that would mean that anyone adding this link in their calendar software always downloads the entire (large) ics file with all the events?
sometimes I read about CalDav which seemed to me more like an alternative to the blunt download strategy of ics. If I understood well, software able to handle CalDav links can sync in an intelligent way with a calendar server (but is there a lot of end-user software available to handle CalDav links?)
I found very little on the efficiency of making calendars available online, as well from the user point of view (not nice if you need to download the entire ics file on every read) as from the server point of view. Any help or insight in available techniques would be great.

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...
