What is Scoop
|
Scoop is a "collaborative media application". It falls somewhere between a
content management system, a web bulletin board system, and a weblog.
Scoop is designed to enable your website to become a community. It empowers
your visitors to be the producers of the site, contributing news and discussion,
and making sure that the signal remains high.

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

Just emailed rusty and hurstdog a skeleton code for implementing an email digest feature for scoop. Got to work a lot more on it. The most difficult part will be to integrate it with the present implementation of scoop. Let's see what rusty and hurstdog thinks about the idea and the code.

Inspite of the nasty cold that seem to dull all my sense, it was an OK day as far as work was concerned. I was able to submit two hacks to scoop (read the other diary entries) and also help discover and fix a scoop security problem along with hurstdog.
Wrote some more specs of my academic project. It is pushing forward, slowly, but surely.

Hmmm.. Looks like I am cribbing and cribbing about the UI for some time now. Maybe this is the last.

Hmm... this seems strange.. Even when I am logged into scoop, the "Menu" shows "create account". Now, why would I want to creat an account when I am already logged in as a user?
I suggest that "create account" be hidden if the user is logged in.

Someone in #k5 last night (Thur 12-07-00) asked if there was a way to change the url to have the comments take on a certain form so that a link to a story can be viewed with the comment sorting/mode/etc something other than default. The specific example was "when linking to a story, can the url make the comments nested?" I just thought i'd post my replies here for other's who might have use for them.
