Is there any already made module to publish news articles from SilverStripe to Facebook / Twitter?
I have looked for something and found pitchandtone/silverstripe-facebookpush but I have some errors even when running dev/build.
I am stuck on this line:
Set access token to response from this URL: (replaced with your app's id and secret)'*
Also, I think it is not compatible with my version 3.1.18 because the module is from 2012-2013.
I have created a Facebook app, so I have app id, app secret and user id.
Is there any existing SilverStripe module to publish news articles from SilverStripe to Facebook / Twitter?
Given that that module is so old, I would avoid it like the plague. Did you search for "Facebook" on SilverStripe addons? There are 4 pages of results with at least 2 promising looking ones on the first page of results.
Confused about which to pick? Always go for modules that have recent commits made to them. This gives dev's confidence they will be using something that is supported. Take the score on addons.silverstripe.org into account. This is an indication of how detailed you can expect that support to be with regard to docs etc (More here: http://www.silverstripe.org/software/addons/supported-modules-definition/). Simplicity is also key. If the module does several different things at once, it may well be very good at doing those, but it also means a steeper learning curve for new users of the module.
Good luck.

I am planning to create myself a photo storing solution - like dropbox, just in my own server and only with photos.
I was thinking of only one public page - login form. So when you enter www.example.com > you end up with a login form > after login you see your albums and you can easily create new ones/upload photos, bulk download and etc.
The system has to be super easy to use (senior citizen will be using it), should be compatible with mobile phones and all photos should be absolutely private!
I have searched online, but most of the systems are overcrowded with unnecessary tools that make the system complicated and orientated more to public galleries.
Any ideas of similar systems already created that I could use?
You have a few options here, personally I would just build this as that way you are getting exactly what you want.
However, not everyone has the time or patience I have. So as an alternative :
OwnCloud is the best option here in my opinion as I have installed and used this before. It is very user friendly and simple to install.
OR I would suggest investigating these : alternatives

I'm looking to implement Twitter into an internal existing system. I need to use several features of the API (such as mentions) that require authorization.
From my understanding, this can only be used with a Twitter application, and as such I've created one.
However it all seams very public facing, asking for details like website URL, and application description, which in my case I do not need or want.
I simply need to authorize my system to make calls to the API, am I going about it the right way?
If not, is there a certain PHP library / alternative way of getting autorized? I can't imagine i'm first in this situation?
Thanks!
You'll need to provide these details so Twitter knows what kind of application you're building. If your application is not going to publish any tweets, that's entirely fine; if you're simply making GET requests, your application information won't be published anywhere.
If you don't have a public-facing URL for your application, you can enter a placeholder or a fake URL.

Does anybody know of any open source project that deals with creating forms or surveys?
The engine needs to function something similar to Survey Monkey (surveys; each containing survey pages; each containing a survey element - radio boxes/check boxes/text areas or other components) - except that we have requirements to brand it with custom look and feel and we have our own custom form interactions. I believe that some of these custom interactions might be worth contributing back to the OSS community as well, but we would rather plug it into an existing project that creating one from scratch.
It would be preferable if such a project used PHP and MySQL but I am fine with any other combination. Any inputs on this would be very useful.
Yes, there are. The following may suit you best:
LimeSurvey
LimeSurvey basically contains everything you need for doing nearly every survey with grace.
ActiveCampaign
Conduct surveys with ease by creating your survey using our proprietary WYSIWYG survey design tool, deploying your survey to your respondents, and fully analyzing the results.
PHPESP
PHP scripts to let non-technical users create surveys, administer surveys, gather results, view statistics. All managed online after database initialization.
I can recommend JForm (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jformphp/). It enables you to create easily customizable forms from a php settings array.
I had built one custom survey as per my requirements over here. May be you can customize it and make it as per your needs and you can host it on your server too. It uses PHP / MySQL. Its not a complete solution though.

Is there a single PHP API to post to multiple sharing sites (Twitter, Reddit, Linkedin, YouTube etc), or do I have to use multiple APIs? Or is there an online service that will do this via, say, a REST interface?
Good question, I know a lot of people use hootsuite to update multiple networks however I didnt see anything about an API on their site. In searching i found two that looked ok and offered APIs. They both update ~40 services however I didn't see reddit or youtube. You can check them out though, maybe you're able to link one account to another like facebook lets you do with twitter. Anyway the sites are:
http://ping.fm
http://hellotxt.com
Ping.fm supports quite a few services and has an API.
There is no single API for all services, so to speak, but there are multiple GitHub projects that do this!
Social Share URLs
Sharer.js
I personally contribute to both of these projects on GitHub! Even though there is a "support" button there for contributions for Sharer.js, they go to the project owners -- and I'm only a contributor, not a project owner!

I'm planning to build a community-driven website with voting functionality similar to StackOverflow (or Digg etc..). I really like SO's voting system where your points are deducted for voting down someone and so on.
Anyway, is there any open-source module/component available that I can plug into my app directly without having to reinvent the wheel? The app will developed probably be in PHP or Python.
Thanks for your comments and advices.
There are a few for Django:
django-voting
django-rangevoting
django-ranking
Personally I've only used django-voting. It has a nice section on using it for a Reddit/SO style voting including templates and using Progressive enhancement: http://code.google.com/p/django-voting/wiki/RedditStyleVoting
I think the other projects have some interesting features in terms of custom ranking/sorting methods which is where django-voting can fall short.
Have a look at Pligg
Pligg started as a simple CMS to let
users submit and vote on news
articles, and that's still what we do
best. Vote on stories that interest
you and articles that receive enough
votes will appear on the homepage of
your Pligg site. Pligg offers a 5 star
method for voting or the more
traditional numbered voting as seen on
sites like Digg, Mixx, or Reddit.
Try this its written in PHP ZendFramework
phpancake
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpancake/
A questions and answers system, where the validity of the questions and their answers is determined and moderated by the community by a voting system. This open source system is on the lines of Stackoverflow and digg.
