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

Request for Questions!
While the new Scoop Admin Guide isn't yet finished, I'm starting to think about one of the rather important sections... Frequently Asked Questions.

For a while now, I've been dissatisfied with the way Groups work in Scoop.
It's OK for simple applications. Once you start getting into slightly more complicated things though, it starts getting silly.

AutoFormat as default input?

What unpleasant deity do I have prostrate myself before to get "Auto Format" as the default formatting option on my site? Most of my users are writers and such and have pre-formatted text for pasting, so the HTML formatting shouldn't be the first choice (plus I implemented smilies in AutoFormat :) <-- oh, you didn't see that, never mind...).
Thanks. I have a moderately busy Scoop 1.0b site (from CVS, a few months ago) on a beat-up, six-year-old server running (The One True OS) Solaris x86. Works great, loads of fun.

Slash breaks Scoop, Scoop breaks Slash

So, without wondering extensively if it will even work, I decide to create a single install with slashcode running in the rootdir, and scoop as location-based install under http://www.mystupidserver.com/scoop. However, if I include scoop first, slash won't run. If I include slash first, scoop won't run. I had assumed (perhaps naively) that by running scoop in a subdir, it shouldn't interfere with slash and vice versa. Can this be done? If not, can I run them together using virtual hosts (www.mystupidserver.com, and scoop.mystupidserver.com....and a little help there, as well)? Or should I just abandon this silly notion, and build two separate machines to serve?

Scoop hosting for modified versions of Scoop

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong section to post this in. I have a server running Scoop that will be 'going away' and I have been looking around to find a webhoster to run it for me. Problem is that I changed a bit of the code to suit my needs so it is no longer stock Scoop code. Does anyone know of a hoster that can run this for me? I can combine all the code into one variable to make things easier, I suppose.

Some comments that have just been archived still have links from the user's comment ratings page. However, because the comments are now in the archive, they show up as blank comments.
