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

Well, I'm getting tired of waiting for somebody to test my patches so 1.0 be released before starting new development, so I say to hell with waiting.
Here is my plan for re-doing user prefs so they're easy for admins to customize and easy for developers to add to.

Imagine you see an attractive-titled comment and it's level 5. It renders to be very interesting comment, and now you'd like to read the comment in level 4 this comment is answering. The only way you can do it is going to the story, then clicking the comment in level 4.

Sucess with sendmail on Windows XP

The common problem of Scoop on Windows is account setup and emailing. Well I think no more! I have been able to send set up three accounts so far without having to restart Apache. Not entirely convincing yet (I am still evaluating scoop 0.9), but 300% better than the common result I have been reading and experiencing...one account and then scoop throws a hissy fit.

While looking at the list of Scoop sites, I just realized that Sci-Fi Today is still listed. The name of this site was changed long ago to SciScoop (as was its URL) to reflect the fact that the vast majority of the stories are about the latest revelations in science, but we apparently forgot to mention it here. SciScoop is developing into quite a good community now, boasting over 1000 members. If you like to read about and/or discuss science, this is the place to be.

A user over on ShouldExist made an astute suggestion: Make the moderation queue available via an RSS feed. Sounds like a great idea to me. Would make it easier to keep in touch with the site, and hopefully encourage participation in the moderation process.

Hey guys. I'm in the midst of doing a formal usability test of scoop to create a more usable design.
I would really appreciate if all the scoop admins here could fill out my little survey as soon as possible:
Scoop Administrator's Survey
Your answers will be kept confidential.
Thanks for your time!

Is there any switch or non-coding way to get diary entries to display on the front page?

We launched a scoop site skalmadi.org on April 10, 2004. It is a companion site to skalmadi.com and is for a Member of Parliament of the India's Upper House - the Rajya Sabha. The M.P., Suresh Kalmadi, is also active in sports, culture, tourism, and development thus making it a perfect platform for him to interact with the citizens.
