I am looking for a wiki project that is editable by developers and can have comments and history, much like everything else, but also has the following features:
A way to tag or version the wiki in an intuitive interface that any competent developer can use
A way to deploy a tagged or versioned snapshot of the wiki with the option of stripping it of any editorial history.
The use case is to have a team of developers able to fluidly update documentation in the lifecycle of a project and have the necessary internal dialogs, but then have a way to package the documentation in a polished way so that it can be included with a commercial product.
The ideal solution, if this software exists somewhere, would be to have some type of facility so that you can do say, PDF output to send to a commercial printer or have a way to do custom templates depending on the parameters of the deployment.
Does any sage developer out there know of such software?

I would take a look at GitHub's Gollum which seems to fit your requirements quite well. They also support a bunch of different markup alternatives, and both Markdown and Textile have converters to PDF (and probably a bunch of the other markup choices as well).

etc
Basic features I whould like:
Organized by project
By version
What is it ( Note, idea, feature request, bug, etc
Import/Priority
Deadline

Code-snippet, to better illustrate
Image to better illustrate
I'd like more, these whould do for now.
Does any one know of some tool that those this, or most of it ?

We are using Jira. Jira is a bugtracker, issuetracker etc... You can combine it with many add-ons (for scrum, github functionality)

This is not a technical question, but I will try to be specific in order to this question to fit into the stackoverflow requirements.
I'm currently facing a task where I have to design hundreds of web forms, integrated in a java web project (JSP pages). I'm searching for a Web Form designer tool with the following requirements:
Drag and Drop interface (to speed up the process);
Open Source;
Database access (not mandatory but at the same time very usefull);
Java integration or Java based (again, not mandatory but at the same time very usefull);
Capable of exporting local files (the forms can not be alocated online, like in many form builders);
I wasn't able to find a tool to fit this requirements. Does anyone knows one?
Thanks
Unfortunately, no there isn't. You can find frameworks that acts as a wrapper and therefore it can save some development time, such as http://www.jformer.com/
There are a few proprietary applications around. Take a look at http://www.wufoo.com/
I've been looking for similar tool without any success. I am thinking about starting an open source project in these lines. But, I do not have anything concrete yet...

Is there any open source framework that encapsulates: a Wiki, Forum and a ticket system. Something like a software configuration Manager (SCM).
Looking for something very similar to sourceforge offers to project owners.
I'm looking to give support to a small private web software project. I keep finding separate implementations of these features.
If there are commercial products it would be nice to hear from them too.
Wordpress might be an option.
You could use Redmine. It offers a Wiki, Boards (=Forum), Issue tracking.
Another popular alternative would be Trac which offers Wiki and Issue tracking. For forums there exists a plugin (The plugin is not actively developed anymore?).

Can you recommend a CMS that exposes the entire stored content through some kind of API (HTTP, XML-RPC, web service)?
I want to use it only for creating/editing content, and the content will be then retrieved from another site.
For instance, Wordpress has the type of API I am looking for, but unfortunately it lacks some of the functionality I need (hierarchically organized articles and media, article and image ordering, image galleries...).
You should take a look at http://osmek.com/ or http://expressionengine.com/ with the Export it plugin. It allows for channels to be pulled using a REST API.
I have been on a crusade to separate the CMS from the front-end of all of my projects and I have used ExpressionEngine in the past and really dig it. Another plugin that you may like with EE is Playa,it allows for relational data models.
Good luck

This question is related to Tools for matching name/address data. There is a number commercial tools provided by SAS, Oracle, Microsoft, etc., that allow to de-duplicate or merging names of individuals or companies coming from multiple sources.
However, after reading the answers to the question mentioned before, I wondered why a seemingly interesting problem didn't receive any answers mentioning open source projects that could tackle the problem.
Are you aware of any open source projects or algorithms to implement the so called "record linking", "record merging", or "clustering"?
I'd recommend Google Refine as an open source (New BSD license) tool for parsing and fixing crufty data. It also allows clustering and reconciling of duplicate data, as well as having data-mining features.
I've used it to import and fix a lot of data in various formats, .csv, .tsv, .xls, .xml, .json, .rdf etc. with success. It can be used in-house without sending any data externally, which seemed to be a concern of the question "tools for matching name/address data"
NB. Google Refine was previously called Freebase Gridworks.
I stumble upon the following article: "Merge/Purge and Duplicate Detection".
By looking at http://www.semaphorecorp.com I found some extremely low prices.
This is not what I'm looking for, but at least is a bit of help, and a step on the right direction.
Try OSDQ open source data quality and profiling project on sourceforge
