I need to port a .Net application from Windows to OS X and I am wondering what are the advantageous and disadvantageous of using either Monobjc or MonoMac and what peoples experience with these are.
App Requirements
Native UI
Scripting Bridge (or alternative) for Inter-application Communication will need to be both ways i.e. calling the ported application from another and having another application call the ported application.
Growl integration for notifications.
What would be the best option considering the requirements above.
For item 1 if you carefully read the below article, you will see why MonoMac was born and why you should now use it,
http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2010/Apr-19.html
After these two years, MonoMac has already grown to be a giant in this field. Unless you are maintaining an old project built upon other bindings, you should consider MonoMac as your first option.
It does not matter whether you use MonoMac or another binding, as the last two items are not closely related to item 1.
For IPC you can consider WCF (limited support from Mono), Thrift (http://thrift.apache.org/) and many others.
Growl is not a Mac OS X API. For such vendor specific stuffs you should consult the vendor.

Is there any alive Haskell library which implements FRP and could be used to program UI/interactive graphics?
What I expect from such a library:
Doesn't use any crazy GHC extension, so code could be understood by mortals.
Not abandoned (had some commits in last 6 mouths and few answered thread in mailing lists).
Backed by some modern window library (Qt, GTK) and covers fair amount of it functionality.
Also has drawing and animation support, i.e. let the user to simply define some shapes and effects and bind their parameters to behaviors.
I checked some resources and picture is quite sad.
Original Fran and its ancestor Fruit family are officially dead.
Reactive is an abstract framework and doesn't have bindings to real UI/graphics (did I miss something?).
Netwire also look aimed for general case. Currently it has no documentation covering how to build UI/graphics with it. The only example is a full application not even close to tutorial.
Grapefruit looks good, but it had last commits in December 2013 and the mailing list full of spam. I consider it abandoned.
Yampa has not documentation at all, and the mailing list is silent since November 2013.
Reactive Banana has been updated relatively regularly, has bindings to SDL, some decent examples, a tutorial and a relatively small but decently commented API reference.
There's also a backend to wx, and see this question about using it with GtK.
The maintainer, Heinrich Apfelmus, is on Stack Overflow, and often answers questions on the reactive-banana tag.
Does this suit your needs?
GUI programming is the major use case of reactive-banana I believe.

The title pretty much sums what I am looking for - will consider commercial solutions as well. Far from versed in the whole OS X "ecosystem" - therefore, any "tips" on this subject, appreciated.
Cross-platform compatibility not a requirement.
Thank you.
The old way was to use Apple's PackageMaker app. It's been deprecated in Xcode 5 however. You can still find it on Apple's Developer site -- I believe it's included in the Auxiliary Tools package (more info). Personally, I still use it for production releases. Yes, it's scriptable.
The new way is to use pkgbuild, productbuild, and the other tools included in Xcode 5. More info here:

Are there any good resources for beginning writing applications for OS X?
I'm familiar with c++, Java, php so don't necessarily need introduction to programming concepts but don't really know where to start with creating applications for a mac.
I have used Borland for creating .exe files on a PC. Is there a similar system for macs?
If you want to continue in a language you already know, you can use Qt, which uses C++ and supports many platforms, including OSX.
However, the most common programming language for OSX is Objective-C, which you'll be able to find many tutorials on-line.
The most common IDE to use is XCode, which is free in the App Store.

Like this done in
http://directory.fsf.org/
http://www.ohloh.net/
so anyone in our company (include bosses) can look:
what projects exist (good to have web search capability)
who is primary mainteners, responsible employees
provide CHANGES, latest version
point to BTS (Trac/Mantis), VCS (SVN/Git/HG), Wiki, Mail list, NNTP, Night build, CI build, etc...
may be provide some summary info based on activity on BTS/VCS (how many opened bugs, how often and who commit)
I don't need extra features as Wiki. and package must work with several existing sofware management/development tools, and does not restricted with Java/C#...
I look on WEB without happen as don't know gold "keywords". Search on StackExchange also don't show any result.
Some requested features available in enterprise application architecture for project hosting (like KForge, FusionForge, GForge) but thay too complex and dictate toolset for teams...
Seems that all existing software directory project built in house and their sources are not released for public.
Look for most complete list of software directories enabled site that I found. Only OpenSymphony provide sources of some components.
So complete lightweight solution does not exist currently.
I going to write own...

I'm interested in finding out how customers use features in my Cocoa application.
I want to build up statistics on which features people use and how they use them, so that I can measure the value of features I'm implementing.
I'm building a desktop app to run on Snow Leopard.
This feedback of course will be opt-in and anonymous.
Does anyone know of any frameworks that have been developed that can achieve this without me having to write stuff from scratch?
Might want to look into Flurry Analytics. It's "free" and will track just about anything you're interested in.
