I've found a bug in the Nuget native package zlib version 1.2.8.8. I might know how to fix it, but I fail to see where the sources of the package are located or even who packages it. That really clashes with my habits working with open-source software.
Where are the source of the Nuget package for zlib?
The package doesn't contain a link to its source, meaning the package authors decided not to share its location (possibly because it's not in a public location). On NuGet.org's package details page, which you linked to, you can see that "Microsoft" and "visualcpp" are listed under the "owners" header. They are the ones that packaged it.
However, on the package details page, it says that it was last updated in May 2015. Also notice that the top of the page has a yellow banner saying the package is unlisted and the version history doesn't list any versions at all. This means the package owners have unlisted all versions of the package (so how did you even find it? It shouldn't have come up in search results), giving a strong hint that they don't want to maintain the package any more. Another reason I think it's unlikely they continue to maintain the NuGet packages is that zlib appears to have at least 4 CVEs in 2017 (note, 2 years after the last update to the NuGet package), and there weer updates to zlib, which presumably fixed the issues, but the package on nuget.org were not updated. I don't have the motivation to check if the CVEs are actually serious, but I hope that you do. Maybe the packages on nuget.org are no longer "safe" to use. In any case, if you really want, you can try using the "contact owners" link on nuget.org and see if they respond.
Microsoft's C++ team created another package manager, vcpkg, which might be more suitable for you to use, although I know nothing about it other than the name and that it exists. Maybe you'll have better luck sourcing zlib from there, particularly newer versions, rather than NuGet.

Does anyone know if there is a place to download older versions of Visual Studio Code, specifically the version that still worked on Mac OS X 10.9.x?
One of my dev machines is still running Mac OS X 10.9.5 and needs to remain on that OS. I've had Visual Studio Code running on it for some time and recently the software auto-updated to a version that requires 10.10. Needless to say, the software now longer runs on the machine.
Unfortunately, the original installer I have in my archives/backups is for a very old version (0.7.0!). I'm stuck with that or switching to a different editor unless I can find an official download link. Any help is appreciated.
After digging through the official site, I discovered that a list of releases exists on the Visual Studio Code Updates page and each change list entry there includes links to the associated downloads.
Not every version is available, but there is (at this time) over a year's worth of releases displayed there.
Click on a month's release notes and you'll find download links for that version at the very top of the page just under the headline. Note that not all downloaded files include the version number, so you may want to rename them to include it as you download.

What I plan to do in some of my README.md files is provide hyperlinks to other sites that I cite. However, we all run into that problem when links die or get moved, and said link becomes invalidated. =(
Is there a github tool that can run nightly checks to see if all the links in a README.md file (or something similar) are working correctly?
What I'm looking for is something that has a feature similar to Travis CI, where a project could have a badge saying "link-passing" on the project's main github page. (Example: scikit-learn has those two classy looking "build-passing" badges.)
I think what you want to use is awesome_bot.
It doesn't provide the badge you want but it does check URLs in files.
From what I get from your question, Travis is actually enough to do the checking task.
I have already implemented it in this project. It's based on nodejs package named grunt-deadlink, Travis-CI configuration is also included. Unfortunately it doesn't support nightly test (as far as I know).
For shiny badge you can simply use this badge generator service.
Another tool that could also be integrated in your CI-Pipeline is mlc.
I integrated it in the pipeline of another project of mine
The mlc link checker is written in rust and fairly fast by using async calls to check web links.

How many different way there is download open source projects in order to modify and rebuild them (directly in editors like eclipse and maven).
The short answer is "a lot".
Seriously it depends on the project. If for example project is developed by individual and not published at any public repository and exists on his hard drive only you do not even have a chance to know that the project exists.
If however the project is published in public repository it depends on the repository. The most popular way to develop open source projects these days is GitHub. If project is there you can always clone the repository and do what you want. Building the project depends on its author. If he/she uses "standard" build tools (maven, gradle etc) it is not a problem. Otherwise it depends...
If you do not want to modify the project but just want to include it as a dependency of your project it depends on the programming language. Java libraries are typically available in maven repository but it is up to the library author.
Please do not hesitate to ask more concrete questions.
I am a little confused on your question but it sounds like what ways there are to download projects.
Usually finding an SVN or GIT plugin would do the trick if you want to download it directly to the editor.

lazy dont have to read this
I have to work on an old netbeans project which is kinda messy. The previous autor changed a lot in some .properties and .xml files and add ant scripts. (Aplication is designed for Websphere, and it have some requirements)
Unfortunatly today doesn't work. Some important values was stored in private.properties (I dont know what exacly was), ant script don't run, and few versions issue apper. So first I have to tidy this mess, but I dont know about netbeans project well. Unfortunatly I have problem to find documentation to all of it.
Netbeans project is based on ant project. Fortunatley ant have manual here: http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html . But (I assume that) 'nbproject' folder and its inner files are not part of ant project. I can't find documentation about it. Maybe I blind or something, but I didn't found it on NetBeans side. IMHO netbeans side is kinda messy as well.
straight to the point
I am searching for documentation for netbeans project, where will be written about files project.xml, project.properties etc. What they contain and even how to write them on your own.
This document explains freeform project configuration in detail. You should be able to find what you need in there. If I were in your position, I would create a new project that has all the frameworks like your original project and then look at the project metadata files of the new project for some direction. IMO this is far easier than trying to author the project.xml files from scratch.

I have searched around and can't find anything, so could anyone help me with getting notepad++ to work seamlessly with Github. I would like to be able to open notepad++ and be able to work on files, then when I save (or live) it will show on Github. I have installed everything they say I need to and have the README, but that's all.
Have you tried this plugin for Notepad++?
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1358320/all
You can not save directly on github but you can save and then commit these modified files.
This is really an old question, but I just bumped into it today and thought I'd share my strategy, as the plugin proposed here requires also TortoiseSVN, which is a setup that I don't find as fluid and easy to use as my alternative.
After finding that there's no "stand-alone" plugin you can get for this, I started using GitHub Desktop App. This enables you to set repositories locally, make commits, pulls, pushes, etc. Just login with your account, and then create a local repository for your project.
After creating the repository, just open the files you wish to edit with Notepad++. Make some changes, save and use the GitHub Desktop Application to do all GitHub related stuff. Opposed to the plugin, this app provides a full featured interaction with GitHub.
By the way, if you have two monitors, or a big one, you can just have the two applications open side by side, which emulates similar setups you can find in advanced IDEs (Eclipse, for example). I find this to be even more convenient and fluid than having to open a separate plugin dialogue for doing my Git related stuff. The GitHub Desktop application will even refresh automatically, without any interaction being required from you, after you make any editions to the files (using Notepadd++) or any changes in the file structure (add, rename, move, delete files).
