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

Memoirs of a Newbie Scoop Hacker

First of all, I should introduce myself since it's my first time posting here. My name is Wes Morgan, and I am the webmaster of Libretech.org, a scoop-based site. Once I got scoop set up on my site, there were things I noticed right away that I would like to alter/improve about it. So, I got on the #scoop IRC channel and began discussing these things with some of the developers there. The following is a brief summary of my work and our discussions so far, and I believe it will give us a good idea of where scoop development needs to go from here.

As a scoop admin, you might be interested to see how your users are using your site. I wrote these SQL statements to check up on the users on my site, but I thought perhaps there might be some general interest from other admins, so here are some SQL statements that you can try out yourself.

This isn't really a bug but I had a question. Has anyone here switched from a location-based install to a virtual host (well, virtual host = 'www') w/o a complete reinstall?

From yoga to NLP to psychedelics to mind machines to philosophy. All things consciousness considered. Articles are down-to-earth, not airy fairy. Interesting topic matter to be sure. Useful too.
Have a look!

I'm happy to report that I can finally ADD a little something to the Scoop movement. I've heard a couple of requests for icons, so I traded services with an art-type and now I've got a set of 20 Topic icons, and I'm willing to share them with anyone free of charge.
