The SO engine isn't getting open sourced in the foreseeable future. The API is part of the engine, so it isn't either.
That being said, we do make all of the data "open-source" (cc-wiki, but close e …

Get a user's "interesting tags"
This is private per-user information. Accordingly we can't expose it until some sort of user auth is in place, which isn't a v1 target.

added_date in users/{id}/favorites method result
You'll notice that the same questions object is returned by all the various methods.
This is intentional, and I'm loath to make an exception in this case.
You can get the set of questions favorite'd …

associated_users does not have a root level key
You're de-serializing on_site, just define an equality operator - however that is done on your platform of choice - and be done with it.
Bam, unique key.
We're returning the site data to save a qu …

Rather than remove site from /sites set status close, at least temporarily
If you're persisting data, the omission of the site is enough of a signal that its been removed (for whatever reason).
Keep old sites around indefinitely is just polluting /sites, and removing them a …

Global Inbox **Unviewed Count** API
Chat notices from private rooms (mostly available to moderators) and careers messages go into the inbox.
These things are private, and will not be exposed prior to authentication.

Installing user scripts on site?
The problem with this isn't so much the security (though that's a concern), it's that we don't want the backwards compatibility constraints such blessed installations imply on our HTML and javascript. …

Shouldn't there be a separate call for featured questions?

name is guaranteed to be constant. So is site_url*.
Use one of them.

Can there be a way to find a user given his email hash?
No.
E-mail hash is a pretty terrible way to determine account association, as there's no uniqueness guarantee. I touched on why account associations - which is a more general case of what you're ask …

StackAuth feature requests
Meta Stack Overflow is not, actually, a meta site in the api sense. It tracks reputation, and has a distinct set of user accounts from Stack Overflow.

Creation of an API 'about' method for the application key being passed
Everything you want here is already implemented, except for next_downtime, which requires a level prescience we don't yet possess.

You can implement this yourself pretty easily.
