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

After fixing a few HTML-related kinks, Unfair and Imbalanced is ready for public viewing. Right now it has news-related entries, but it is aimed at providing news, commentary, and opinion on issues related to progressive/left-wing politics and lifestyles.
Come visit, and if you are interested in writing about progressive issues please consider submitting some stories, articles, or essays. Otherwise, enjoy the site, have a field day posting comments or diaries, and please tell your friends. Be sure to check back every now and then, as I am working on getting some new artwork and contributors.

At long last, Scoop 1.0 is available. Whether you've been tracking CVS or have stuck with 0.9, there is news inside for you.
Inside: changes to CVS, major features and bugfixes since 0.9, and Scoop's future.

How well does Scoop scale?

I was recently reading a story submitted two years ago, regarding how well Scoop scales (or doesn't scale). Can anyone tell me if any progress has been made in this area since then? Are there still plans for making it better? Or is it already quite capable of scaling up to support a community as large (or larger) than Slashdot?

Sportscolumn.com has just launched. It is the first Scoop site devoted entirely to sports. I originally ran it on MT but moved it over to Scoop because of the collaboration elements.
Thanks to janra, mostly harmless, and panner for their help in the #scoop irc chat. Also, hillct who got all the backend stuff working for me.
Please check it out!

Bringing On-line Collaboration to Animation

As a non-programmer, I've long admired what the open source movement has achieved. Why haven't people in other disciplines caught on to this method and spirit? Well, I'm about to try to do just that in my own field of animation.
What I propose to do is start a non-commercial site called Toonex.org. We would make animated films in much the same way that Linux and Scoop were made -- by sharing files and advise, by thinking through problems together, by offering each other critiques when it's needed and praise when it's deserved -- all through the magic of the web.

WAROW: Wars and Rumors of War - a little scoop site of my own on the 'net, following war (and rumors of war) news around the world on a semi-regular basis. No community to speak of yet. A month or so in operation.

Cherrypitter.com is a bipartisan political community powered by Scoop. We provide the best cherry pits to fuel your political discussion. A cherry pit is a political tidbit left behind by an unexpected source. It is a fact, opinion, or statement that belies someone's supposed political bias.
Typically, politicians, pundits, journalists, and bloggers stick to the party line and provide the best "cherries" that support their cause. A cherry pit is a tough nut they have to deal with; it is point they are forced to concede or a fact they can't deny. We collect the best ones here and open them up for discussion.
