Many online store share common features, such as payment handling, order tracking, recommendation, shopping cart, CMS, etc.
Are there common opensource / commercial frameworks or packages that developers are using to build these site? Or do many of them building it from scratch?
Services like Shopify look simple to use but I don't want my site to look too right out of a Can and I am worry that there might be limit to the customization I can do.
Can someone point me to a right direction as to what technologies are available? I am looking for a solution that is not restrictive and has plenty of support from the community.
Thanks a lot.

There are plenty of open source solutions out in the wild.
If I were to build an e-shop I would probably take a closer look at Satchmo. Now I'm biased as I like python and postgresql. The system is based on Django, which has a very flexible templating system. But of course it is up to you to make the design.
Check out the features available and the store gallery to see if this is something for you.

here's a blog post I've written about comparing open source ecommerce packages with hosted ones.
We've built SolidShops.com as a hosted ecommerce solution which allows you to build 100% custom and unique stores in html/css.
In the end, it all depends on whether you have budget to go with a hosted solution or if you are willing to install, update, configure, secure, ... an open source package like magento.

oscommerce is vastly used also.
You can also buy a ready-made template for it on template selling websites like template monster.
So for about $200 you can have your whole design/coding done. That is, unles you want custom stuff.

First off, please forgive me if this has been answered before. I did do a search before posting but the results that came back were not really satisfying. This is question is a "last resort" type of thing, to point us to the right direction, if at all possible.
My team and I have been looking for a good test case management tool. So far we have been using Zephyr, but we find it to be quite bloated and a tad complicated for what we believe we need.
What we need the tool with the following features.
Integration with Jira
Good reporting capabilities (much like Zephyr).
Support for agile teams.
Support for multiple projects over multiple iterations.
Nice, clean and intuitive interface
Some things to consider:
We have rejected Jira as a test management tool because we feel handling multiple projects with it would be a real pain
We have also rejected Zephyr for Jira, pretty much for the same reasons, and because of our current experience with Zephyr.
Would it possible for you to recommend any tool that satisfies the above features?
Thank you in advance!
Why don't you take a look at PractiTest?
I am biased because I work for them, but on the other hand the system provides all the things you mentioned above that you are looking for (simple to use, good integration with Jira, supports Agile teams, etc) and some additional features and things that make the life of the average tester easier and overall better.
You can sign up to one of the public demos that run once or twice a week from the site. And after the demo you can choose to work with PractiTest for free for a couple of weeks as part of the 2-week free evaluation license.
As you said, testing and test management should not be complex and over-bloated...

Try APTEST (product of Atlassian). With APTEST integration with JIRA is made simpler. It connect tests and test results to issues in JIRA. For more details check the following link APTEST - JIRA Integration

(I asked on programmers.stackexchange.com but my question got voted down into the negative, so I'm re-asking here.)
I'd like to use a map API for a private intranet web site I'm developing. The Google Maps API is free as long as the web site that uses it is also free. For private intranet web sites, the Google Maps API costs $10,000 US per year (or more) for a business/enterprise license which makes it too expensive for a small 1-guy shop like myself.
So now I'm looking for other options. Are there any usable HTTP map APIs that are free or lower/reasonable cost?
You might wanna check this and this too because what you think about the rules about Google Map is not entirely true. To answer your question, most other providers carry similar license agreement; plus, the solution is not hard to be found hence the voting down (I suppose, no offense).
Anyhow, try Googling OpenStreetMap, hope this helps you!
Google GeoCharts is not a street-by-street level maps and satelite pictures familiar to Google Maps users, but it worked great for what I needed. You can find it here: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart
(Actually, the entire Google Charts javascript library is quite amazing!)

I want a text-speech API that works over the web. Google Translate unofficial API doesn't fit because I need to read more than one paragraph and they're limited to 100 chars.
I checked iSpeech, but they require a telephone call to buy credits and since this work maintainers do not speak english and this type of billing/selling is pretty ridiculous, I'm looking forward for another alternative.
Anyone?
EDIT: It must have an pt-BR voice.
I was searching for the exact same thing, I needed pt-BR voice too, and I have just quit using Google TTS because it has got some limitations, bugs (with sentence punctuation endings) and no documentation at all.
I found http://www.voicerss.org/
It works good for me, it's free, simple API and has the Brazilian pt-BR voice we need.
I actually spoke to iSpeech ( http://www.ispeech.org ) the other day, and apparently you can purchase credits directly from the web site (did you click Upgrade?). The reference to having to contact them is regarding higher volume pricing. (I haven't actually upgraded, so I haven't verified this, but that's what they said.)
Alternatives include:
http://ws.neospeech.com
http://acapela-group.com (or http://acapela-box.com)
http://acapela-vaas.com (VaaS means Voice as a Service, and this is a pure web API)
http://www.ivona.com/en/developer/
http://www.voiceforge.com/
https://speechtronic.com
Except for Neospeech, which has a free plan, the others are over my budget... Also, I'm disappointed that Neospeech's API is asynchronous. The API returns a code, whose status you then look up, until you get a url for the result. So it sounds like it's geared towards large amounts of text at a time.

I know the community around Progress 4GL is highly lacking in activity, but the people on SO are a surprisingly resourceful bunch of guys!
I'm looking for a tool that is capable of creating a dependency tree for classes, include files, and other structures in Progress 4GL. Ideally it would have a command line interface so that it can be integrated into an automated build.
I would like to avoid rolling my own if I can help it. We have a 4Mloc code base, so a manually-generated dependency graph just won't work out very well. Is there any hope?
Thanks!
There is a very active community, but you need to know where to look. :)
See http://www.joanju.com/ for several tools which might be useful.
BravePoint might have some resources, but probably not free.
Also http://www.oehive.org/
I believe the free 10-year-old app below will do some of what you require, but was written for legacy Progress versions (ie. it will only recognize direct old-fashioned RUNs and includes, I think). As for rolling your own, or getting a start, it was written in c++ and the author may still have the source code if you email him...
Here's the link to the app
The Progress community can be found at various places in addition to the above (eg. Peg.com, ProgressTalk.com, PSDN.com, etc.), is relatively minute, but is hardly inactive.
My xref->TT tool can take apart xref strings from the COMPILE XREF statement and turns it into a set of temp-tables. You could then take that the temp-tables and use them to populate a database, after which I'm sure you'll post your code back to the community so others can take advantage of it. :)
I stopped working on it around ~2008, so it pre-dates the OOABL structures.

I need to help a human rights organisation to setup a donation page at their website. They have tried PayPal and GlobalGiving and they found some glitches with these services like ceiling, transaction fees, etc. They want to setup their own mechanism. So what are the possible options and how much programming is needed? Is there any free-open source e-commerce or charity modules available?
Sounds like you are looking for something very customizable here, what I would recommend you is to do some custom coding or leverage solution like wufoo. You can build as simple as a form that whole bunch of fields and sends all these result to paypal or other payment gateways. Leveraging pre-built solution like wufoo is often recommended for non-technical people and/or simple, quick tasks like this.
(Alternatively) Most well-known applications like drupal, Joomal, wordpress (you name the rest) have fairly good support/module on this area, however, most of them require some degree of customizations and often become an overkill solution (mainly because of the learning curve).
You might look into Google Checkout. It's not free, but they do have an option tailored to non-profits (link).
The main benefit of going with them is that you won't need to set up a direct relationship with a CC merchant gateway, which can be a good sized hassle, especially for a smaller nonprofit. To me, the other benefit is that it keeps you far away from Raiser's Edge / Blackbaud, purveyors of some of the most awful donation pages I've ever had the misfortune to see or use.
