Yes, that's a tall order, especially when you haven't specified a language and what you want it to do. There are a great many open source applications out there, but if you've really looked but not found then you are probably looking for something specific. There are projects for ecommerce, CMS, CRM... and pretty much any function you want. In most cases you will fund different proje ts in different languages. But not here at the ASF, most of our projects are infrastructure and framework projects (although we do have OfBiz, which is an ERP system).
