Does anybody know what this means? [SPOILERS]
What is the "source" that the Oracle and the Architect were talking about? Do all programs who enter the source become assimilated into it? If so, what does that mean?

He was in the Building the represented were the mainframe was housed in the Matrix. The KeyMaker opened the door to the mainframe and then he went into the door that was the source. So I guess the Source is the Arcitect.

Neo never makes it to the source. It's the door to his right in the Architect's room. Neo chooses the door on the left, which leads back to the Matrix and Trinity. The source was his other option.
And yes, it is the machine mainframe. That's one of the things the Oracle acknowledged directly.
But the source was also supposed to be his destiny as The One.
"The function of the One is now to return to the source, allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry, reinserting the prime program." -The Architect
But Neo is given a choice and he chooses to save Trinity. And return to the Matrix. The problem is, the Architect told him that failure to return to the source would cause a system crash and kill everyone conected to the Matrix.
Sooo...... What happens next? I don't know.... my mind hurts from thinking about it.

I guess seeing the movie 3 times didn't help me!

As far as computers are concerned, "the source" refers to the source code, which is basically the blueprint for all the coding. Returning to the source would either mean reverting back to the original saved version, or assimilating his mutations into the source so that the problems that spawned them could be programmed out.

I don't think the source referred to the either one of the doors, but to being with the architect in that room, a virtual representation of the source. the screens behind them represented the endless potential combinations, possible outcomes that emanate from the source. Being the source, the room had options represensted by the doors. Neither one of the doors lead to the source. The room was the source.
