Where can I get Scoop

You can download the latest release tarball: scoop_1.1.8.tar.gz You can grab the nightly build. Note: This is generated automatically from the current CVS, and may not be reliable! Get that here: scoop-1.1-nightly.tar.gz The developers strongly recommend CVS as the primary way to obtain Scoop, since releases tend to have pretty long delays between them. If you have CVS installed, do the following: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@ scoop.versionhost.com:/cvs/scoop login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@ scoop.versionhost.com:/cvs/scoop co scoop The above is two commands; each one must be on a single line. When prompted for a password for anonymous, enter 'anonymous' (without the quotes). For more CVS info, "Open Source Development with CVS" is an excellent online reference.

Where can I get help

There are several sources of information and support for Scoop. The first place to look is the scoop-help mailing list. You can browse the archives, or join the list. If you want to post a question, joining the list is strongly recommended. You can also join the #scoop IRC channel on SlashNET. For documentation, there is the (largely complete) Scoop administrator's guide. You can also read the current README and INSTALL files, from Scoop WebCVS (username and password are both "anonymous"). The admin guide is also included with Scoop, in the doc/ directory. If you have new feature ideas or requests, or descriptions of something you're working on for Scoop, this site is the place to submit them. You can also search this site for information. If you want to get your hands dirty, or have any questions about developing for Scoop, there is also the Scoop-dev list. You can browse the archives, or join the list. Bug reports and patches should be filed on the Scoop Bug Muncher. If you have any problems with this site or your user account, e-mail the Admin

Macros leading to Boxes with Arguments
By jeek , Section Dev Notes [] Posted on Wed Apr 27, 2005 at 12:22:04 PM PST
I'm trying to set up a macro that users can use to grab a subset of data from a database, and it appears that the easiest way to format the data is to put it in a box. However, the box takes an argument, and I'm having trouble getting a macro that passes an argument to a box to work. (114 words in story) Full Story >>

Hey everyone. My name is thor and I just got my new, shiney domain at samsdeadfishclub.com...I love dailykos.com and was digging around for the template in the code of the site and found the scoop site. I really want to set my site up like this for several reasons, mainly it's going to be a "club," but I can't understand anything. Such as how to go about installing all of this stuff. I am very green to these things. SQL and Apachi might as well be greek. I only have windows, is it even possible? The thing I get the most confused about is how/what files I would upload to my server and how to install them. oh man, I guess it might just be too difficult for me to do, any suggestions/tips/insults/ideas?

GNU Aspell is a spell checker designed to eventually replace Ispell. It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell checker. Its main feature is that it does a much better job of suggesting possible replacements for a misspelled word than just about any other spell checker out there for the English language. Unlike Ispell, Aspell can also easily check documents in UTF-8 without having to use a special dictionary. Aspell will also do its best to respect the current locale setting. Other advantages over Ispell include support for using multiple dictionaries at once and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once (1 comment, 319 words in story) Full Story >>

In a macro that calls a box, the boxularity is evaluated before the variables, so it is impossible to call a parameterized box from a macro. (153 words in story) Full Story >>

Lucidity
By WolfMentality , Section Dev Notes [] Posted on Wed Feb 23, 2005 at 11:46:37 AM PST
There is no God. Of any kind. There is no mysterious force guiding me and everything else in any particular direction. Rather, no conscious force. I accept that there is a small possibility of this, it's just highly unlikely, all religions have about the same likelihood of being true. It would be foolish for me to think there was a God, after all, there is no proof. The only reason to believe in God, in any religion, is because I am told to do so. Told to by the majority of the society. Told that I am supposed to think and act in a certain way. I try to be an analytical thinker. I try to think for myself. I decide what is right and wrong. I decide how I think and act as best I can. (1 comment, 2529 words in story) Full Story >>

We have Scoop installed but are looking for help in setting it up for a reality show fan site. Must have a flair for intuitive and appropriate user interfaces for large communities. Interest in the Survivor-type shows a plus but not required, as we also need a daily moderator. contact: info.at.pwregistry.pw Comment >>

This would entail the customization of the content management software to: Reflect the tabloid style look-and-feel of MND Enable rapid manual updates of news stories and commentaries, and Provide a means for automatically archiving older news links and commentaries. MND's existing 8000 pages of content would need to be effectively ported into the content management system while preserving the ability of search engines to index, identify and link to these pages. Search engine compatibility must be maintained for both legacy content and for the new content added daily to the website. Naturally the new version of MND will provide enhanced features such as: Registered User Comments Number of Times Article is Viewed Ability to Email/Print Article Trackback Additional Features PHASE II: Implement a Scoop-based collaborative media environment to encourage the participation of MND's community of writers, readers, and forum denizens.
