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

Scoop Installed, now for customization
By johnnyc , Section Dev Notes [] Posted on Mon Mar 11, 2002 at 05:05:00 PM PST
Not a dev note, I'm not a developer, just a sysadmin in the process of setting up my own scoop site. I'll just presume I can use my dev notes for any purpose relating to my scoop site. Hopefully this is not a problem.. (7 comments, 238 words in story) Full Story >>

The next steps in search functionality
By hillct , Section Dev Notes [] Posted on Fri Dec 07, 2001 at 05:46:21 AM PST
Now that FULLTEXT searches are working reasonably, the next set of features I plan to add in a substancial rewrite of the search code (when I have time) are: Stop slinging DB Statement Handles. Sling data between functions instead (code cleanup) 'Entire Site' search to integrate results from comments and stories Search Admin Notes if you have the perm edit_user and allow_admin_notes is turned on Blocks support for display of search results to allow greater flexibility (339 words in story) Full Story >>

Why does scoop have to be tied so tightly to MySQL? Isn't there a way to use a different database on the back end? (84 comments, 154 words in story) Full Story >>
