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.

www.Gurgaonscoop.com - Discussion Space for Gurgaon, India

Gurgaon is one of the "satellite" towns around the capital of India - New Delhi. Gurgaonscoop.com's focus lies in the "nucleus" of Gurgaon Sector 23/Palam Vihar. The aim is to create a free discussion space for all residents of Gurgaon and its neighboring towns (and, yes, that includes New Delhi too).
Google has been very generous to us and has already accorded us listing number 6 for the search keyword "gurgaon" out of total 176,000 results. It's something about Scoop!

Resist!ca has been powered by Scoop for over two years as we have created a well-read, anarchist driven news wire with a growing collective contributing Canadian and international news not found or under-reported in the main stream media.

Customizing the Story_summary Block
|

By imrdkl2 , Section Help! []

The story_summary block provides an important "first impression" for visitors and new users to a given scoop site. Its role in constructing the front page, via summarizing all of the current FP stories individually, is clearly critical for introducing and maintaining the look and feel of any given site.
To that end, a relatively proficient scoop hacker
has given
this site
a very different and unique "look and feel", apparantly via recoding certain effects produced within the story_summary block. Now, I don't know whether he's done it via direct changes to lib/Scoop/Stories/Views.pm and friends, or via a box of some sort - but it seems clear that several features which are embedded in the code have been altered, somehow.
As it turns out, I too would like to modify the look and feel of story_summary. Inside, I describe my needs, and provide some box code which seems to work ok for the task, for your evaluation and criticism.

RedState.org is up and running

Ben Domenech (bendomenech.com), Mike Krempasky (krempasky.com), and the pseudonymous blogger Tacitus (tacitus.org) are pleased to announce the launch of a new online Republican community website: Red State.
And it runs on Scoop!
Red State will be an online rallying point for the Right. It will function as a public square where Republicans can interact, debate, and share information on a wide variety of political issues independent of the official party structure. Red State will be a gathering place of responsible voices, stimulating debate, and constructive action that fully mobilizes conservative intellectual and organizational resources to create a strong and vibrant presence in the weblog medium. Through Red State, the political blogging of the Right can gain the critical mass it needs for the battle ahead.
Red State may be found here.
We'd like to note that Xlan's own Cory King did a smashing job on the creation and design of this site.

The following press release was issued from The Kronicles headquarters announcing the release of their new site that promises to be your source for news. Please check it out if you get a chance! Thanks.
The Kronicles Returns: Your Source for News Launches New Web Site
(Topeka, KS) The Kronicles, which is your source for news, has returned with a newly designed web site and all of the content fans love. "We couldn't be happier about this." said Chief Editor Donald King. "The Kronicles has returned with new content and a whole new look and feel. We have Jim Wilson to thank for that." Jim Wilson commented on the new look of the site and his relationship with King. "Well, yeah I worked on the site and did the design. Don is kind of an asshole if you know what I mean?" said Wilson. "Did he say I am an asshole?" asked King. "I mean because if he did, he doesn't have much room to talk!" The site, which is expected to bring several visitors daily, will offer new updated content more frequently than the old site. "Our fans should really be pleased." said King who mentioned that fans that have knack for writing and want to try their hand at writing an article can do so. "The site is collaborative and has a peer voting system for publishing articles", said King who writes most of the content. "Did he say I was an asshole in a joking way or was he all pissed off?", asked King again concerning Wilson's comments. Fans can also participate in writing a diary and periodic polls that will be posted. If you would like to participate, you can quickly and easily sign up for an account at the web site located at http://www.thekronicles.com.

Box: rdf_feeds_boxed

I'm not particularly fond of the one rdf box with all the links lumped inside. I had played around with a system to seperate the rdf feeds into boxes and then allow the user to determine their position as well as turn them off from the page they were displayed on. This is a slimed down version of that idea, minus the arrangement options.
There are four parts: rdf_feeds_boxed, rdf_feeds_single, box_rdf_box, and hiderdf_box.
