What is the best wiki engine with good authorization features?
DokuWiki is a great open source PHP Wiki, clean syntax, straightforward install, simple report for read-only and private pages, plus a full ACL system, and a active community of plugin developers.
MediaWiki is amazing from a feature stand point, if you need SVG and MathML support, but I find it too hard to customize and hack on personally.
They use MoinMoin in some subjects at my uni. It has really good authorisation, controlled via simple ACLs at the top of each page. Each student submits work on pages private to them and the subject staff, so it definitely seems to work...
We use atlassian confluence it has authorization features like restricting viewing or editing of pages for groups or users. But it's a commercial product (not free)
Define "good". =)
Some would say that the original wiki script has the best authorization features in a wiki sense of the word, seeing that Ward Cunningham defined Wiki as:
The simplest online database that
could possibly work.
That said, I can share my experience with hosting Mediawiki sites and that is that I often find that I would like to be able to define privileges on a group/page and group/section kind of way. But it always depends on the application. I use UseModWiki for robowiki.net and it works excellently even though it has the most rudimentary authorization system (next after the original wiki script then).

I would like to know if there are any tool to design a layout of passbook.
I didn't find any in xcode. Experienced designer can read and write a simple json but it is much better if there are any tool help to speed up this design process.
The Pass Designer is available at http://create.passkit.com
You can use it for free to easily design and create Passes that appear in the web interface exactly as they appear in Passbook.
And with a Developer Account you can quickly build your own income stream! Details to be announced soon.
You need to understand the Passbook app, as you are limited to what you can change from Apple.
There is a Session Video called
Session 301 - Introducing Passbook, Part 1
you can see it in a web browser as well.
This will explain you the model and what can you change as types, colors, texts.
If you're only trying to find a PhotoShop file to "play around", give Takahashi Alex it's own Passbook GUI PSD a go.
I'm one of the creator of Passdock, that is exactly what you are looking for. It's a web design tool that let you create a Pass without knowing anything of the JSON structure. It's free and you can also use it to delivery the passes to the devices.
I'll be happy to help you if you have any question.
You can make passbook file via http://passsource.com .
In this site, you can test customization of passbook.

I'd like to create a flowchart/map visualization of how my project works, what is the best software available for this purpose? I'm not looking for something to do it automatically, I'd like to manually create the flowchart.
This is for a project done in Objective-C if that helps/matters.
OmniGraffle is pretty good. It even creates class diagrams from an Xcode 3.x project.
Other web applications that do this, that are not already mentioned:
draw.io, is free and uses Google Drive or Dropbox for storage (including Google Drive Realtime). I co-founded this.
Lucidchart is native JavaScript, like draw.io.
Creately and Cacoo are Flash implementations, although Cacoo are moving away from Flash.
Aside from my obvious bias, I would suggest Lucidchart or Gliffy (mentioned above).
If you (a) like gliffy and (b) want a desktop-based app that does the same thing, take a look at yEd. Supports BPMN and traditional flowcharts (as well as myriad other drawing notations). Nice and easy to use, cross-platform. Oh, and free :-)
hth.

I'm using Google Custom Search on a client website. They are not very happy about rival companies showing up on sponsored links on their own site. I know we can use Google Site Search but it has an annual fee. I've been looking all around for a Free/OpenSource alternative for Google CSE, but found little I can use. Anyone have any suggestions?
Check this question. What is a good search engine for embedding in a web site. IMO if the client dont want to pay for a search engine then they will have to live with the advertisements if they want a good search engine.
Google has a paid version of search. You can read about it here. We use it in our intranet.
Check out the Google JSON/AJAX Search API. It's a lightweight way of doing a query and returning pure search results that you can then display.
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/
Search is very big business right now because it is relatively immature as an industry - similar to the OS industry many years ago. Anyone with something good is going to charge for it. The open source community will only catch up when the core concepts around search stabilize and become more widely understood (and therefore reproducible). Right now much of the basics are still trade secrets.
Short answer - if you want something even remotely as good as Google, expect to pay for it.
You can block your competitors just as with AdSense, "While AdSense allows you to filter ads by URLs, you can also filter URLs from your search results within your CSE account." - https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=91652
The Austrian company Mindbreeze ( http://www.mindbreeze.com/index_en.html ) has a good alternative site search for websites.
You can test it here for free: http://www.mindbreeze.com/RegisterInSite.html
opensource alternative:

I'm looking for a script or application that tidies up and reformats SQL queries. I've found some good online SQL formatters (see here) , as well as some downloadable commercial applications. I'm cautious about using an online service as I don't want to risk copies of these queries being stored somewhere they might be compromised, if only in a web server's cache (and it is against my employer's policy).
Does anyone know of any open-source applications, scripts, or downloadable freeware that might help me out with this?
It probably bears mentioning that I'm working on a Windows platform at work, but I am open to suggestions for other operating systems.
Cheers!
Update
I have used SQLInform as suggested by Vinko Vrsalovic to excellent effect. Thanks Vinko!
Something that might also be worth watching is SQLTidy, a young project on Google Code which could turn into something great in the long run.
Some things to try out (SQLinForm is free until 2009). It's weird how some niches totally lack good open source tools.

An Emacs macro:

Something else... this freeware tool works for PL/SQL, so maybe there's a use for that in there.

Is there a tool to automatically search through my site and test all the links? I hate running across bad urls.
Xenu link sleuth is excellent (and free)
w3.org checklink
If I were you, I'd check out the W3C Link Checker.
Something like this should work: http://www.dead-links.com/
Do google searches for "404 checker" or "broken link checker"
I used Xenu's Link Sleuth in the past. It will crawl your site and tell you which links point to nowhere. It is not super fancy but it works.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu%27s_Link_Sleuth
The Wikipedia page lists a whole bunch of other products.
WebHTTrack
Can take a long time to go through a large web site (I archived a 250MB website and it took approximately 2 hours - it wasn't local though) It has a log so you should be able to track 404s easily.
Also check out Google's webmaster tools.
http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
They give you the ability to see the 404's that GoogleBot discovers when crawling your website (along with lots and lots of other stuff).
