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

Hello everyone,
In some documentation, I read that you can go to a page if you want to get some of the boxes or blocks that you like on the kuro5hin site. However, I can't seem to find where I saw this and it's driving me nuts.
Someone help.
thanks

Implementing Accountability in Scoop

It seems free, open weblogs all have one common problem. They are all infested with trolls who seek to irritate other users just for the fun of it. As most Scoop enthusiasts probably know, Kuro5hin.org recently fell victim to some particularly egregious trolling. In response, the site operator shut down user registration, and now requires all new applicants to find a sponsor amongst the current K5 user base. Like many K5 users, I found user sponsorship extremely problematic, so I began looking for an alternative.
The trouble with holding a troll accountable is that they can just come right back with another account and resume trolling. Most proposals to prevent trolls from coming back also raise the barrier to entry for new members, making it more difficult for new users to contribute to the site. How can we addresses both issues at the same time? After reading mstefan's proposal for new users to gain sponsorship, a solution popped into my head.

I ran across this perl script that's basically a more robust version of scoop's autoformat, if it interests anyone.

The biggest Scoop site of them all

I'm surprised the site list doesn't include dailykos.com, a Democratic-oriented political news site. Dailykos switched from Moveable Type to Scoop a few months ago and has exploded in size since then. Its posting volume surpasses K5 by a large factor and is edging towards Slashdot levels in the amount of content that gets put up every day. It's almost certainly the biggest Scoop site around now, claiming 2.5 million unique visits per month. I don't have anything to do with running it, but have been reading it regularly. It's quite a success story for Scoop.

A bunch of friends have put together a new scoop site, http://www.ninjastu.com. We haven't made many changes to the interface, and we can't guarantee our political rants are anywhere near as intelligent as anything else you'll find, but we can guarantee that we're all up for a good argument/flame war, and at the very least we'll entertain.
