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

Bleeding edge Gentoo semi-success story

I seem to finally have gotten everything to work under Apache2, Modperl 2 and perl 5.8.1... Everything so far except one wierd thing. Logging out does not work. The error log gives me something like this:
[Tue Oct 07 07:15:13 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] Can't locate object meth
od "header_out" via package "Apache::RequestRec" at (eval 28) line 10.
, referer: http://scoop.myserver.net/
I changed the referer URL because the site is not yet solid enough to recieve visitors. The problem seems to kill mod_perl, though I can't state that as a fact.
From reading elsewhere (and I'm no Perl coder), I found that apparently, 'header_out' is obsolete in mod_perl-2 and 'headers_out' should be used instead. I don't really know what that means or implies, but I figured it could provide clues for someone who does know Perl and is faced with this problem.
I'll try to come back with more details later if anyone is interested.

Post/Comment ratio

I have lots of submitted stories 'n such now (several a day), but I don't have much commenting/feedback going on so the actual discussion is weak. Where should I start if I wanted to mandate a ratio of comment posts to submitted stories? Any other ways to spice things up?

First off, is topic only for the icon representation?
Thanks for reading this, and excuse me with the ignorance if this feature is already present.. in the manual it says 'FIXME' for subsections, so I thought i'd post here for clarification.

A suggestion to make coding scoop easier. Basically label the final code with which block it belongs to. Implement as an option for all accounts since some things are not seen by non-admins.

A Naked Poll

There is a hole in Scoop. It gapes between the story and the diary, between the poll and the comment, and in the minds of all those who have ever been flamed for submitting an MLP just so they could have a poll.
Therefore, a new interface element is needed, an element that can break free from its shackles and stand alone, unencumbered by smothering exposition.
We need a Naked Poll.

I've just migrated not only from one sql server to another, but between scoop versions. There must be a better way than how I went about it.

Rotating sigfiles.

In most of my favourite email clients, I have multiple sigfiles set up so that when a message is sent, I get to randomly add one of the predefined sigfiles to the email message. I'd like similar functionality for scoop.
