Does anyone know why magento does not provide any manual or developer guide?
All most every framework and CMS provides an official development manual but in the case of magento I did not find any official manual which surprised me.
Learning magento is hard because they are making this thing hard.

The best resource you will find is Alan Storm's blog and he has recently written an oustanding series on the Knowledge Base called "Magento for Developers". Both of those will give you exactly what you are asking for in terms of customizing Magento. First, you must know the framework, then you can understand how to customize and extend it. Otherwise you are just hacking.

There's plenty of websites that offer this service for free, like this one.
The input/output for the service is perfect. Here's a url, and it gives me back some XML.
Does anyone know of a similar service that is available as an API, so I can just call it by passing a site url, and it return some xml?
Not free. But you could use the command line version of A1 Sitemap Generator. It can do what you want, see: http://www.microsystools.com/products/sitemap-generator/help/automate-sitemap-build-upload/
Otherwise, I believe you can find some old PHP scripts that create sitemaps, and then maybe tailor them to your needs? One example might be: http://enarion.net/tools/phpsitemapng/

I know what Mono is but I don't understand why it exists. Why do Novell sponsor the project? I ask the question because I would like to use Mono but I have concerns over its future/commitment. If I better understood why the projects exists I'd feel better about using/recommending it.
How else would any .NET code run on Unix/Linux/iOs?
It exists because Miguel De Icaza saw .NET, liked it and wanted to have it available on Linux. Knowing that Microsoft will probably not port the platform, he decided to do it himself.
Since the code is open source, it is not going away anywhere.
I don't have any inside dope, but I'm not aware of a story other than an interested party that knew Microsoft was unlikely to port .NET to *nix platforms took on the task. It started as open source and picked up Novell sponsorship after it achieved some measure of success.
I don't believe a "better" story would help you feel more comfortable about recommending it. No one knows the future, and Novell's sponsorship isn't a guarantee of success.

I'm wondering if there is any Wiki solutions that perfectly fit an API documentation and let you nicely list the end points and parameters/responses.
Any recommandations?
Thanks
take a look at MindTouch.
API Documentation is one of the ways the developer site http://developer.mindtouch.com makes use of the product
Not a direct answer to this question but definitely a good starting point to help you get answered:
I had the same questions and initially thought PBWorks since that's who Twitter originally used for their API Wiki and in the past I've used Google Sites (on the Kwwika Wiki) since it's effectively a wiki.
I'm sure that if you want a more automated solution that will allow you to auto create your wiki from a build process then there will be solutions such as Read the Docs.
All this said I think a really good starting point is WikiMatrix and their Wiki Choice Wizard.

I would like to know if stackoverflow has api's that can be used as plug-ins to be put on other websites ?
Lets say in another forum , a guy posts a question , is it possible to use any api and transfer the question to stackoverflow and then transfer the answers back to the forum ?
Yes
http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.0/help
Yes, there is an API, but it can't be used as you describe. The API is read-only in its current version (1.0), so you can't create or edit posts yet. See StackApps API Documentation and Help for information on what capabilities the API gives you.

I am wondering about how to enable anonymous posting of question and answer in a OSQA website, like stackoverflow.com does. If OSQA does not support this feature yet, can you please give me a short brief on how can I implement a such feature like that?
Currently users, that are not authenticated cannot ask questions, post comments and answers. Actually the whole concept of Q&A community is based on user authorization. Just try to imagine a "community" where the one who asks is unknown (or call him a guest, if you like), and the ones who answer and comment are also unknown users.
Personally I don't think that the registration process is painful. Actually it's maximally simplified and users can get registered in less than a minute. Anyway, will be glad to hear how you think it can be improved.
