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

I have updated my Scoop in Windows documentation and got it working again. However, I still can't get the mailing of new accounts and passwords to work as expected.

No, I don't need you to write any :-)
Would everybody - and especially people new to Scoop, or who have had trouble installing Scoop - please read it over and let me know if I've forgotten anything, skimped on an explanation, or not explained something that you find confusing.
What I have so far is here.

I know that in the SAG it says to use 3.23x, but what about 4.0? I'm using a modified version of 0.8 or 0.9-nightly, but I'm not sure which.

Will Scoops documentation ever get updated?

I'd like to share something with you. Yesterday, I tasked one of my best people with seeing if Xaraya and Scoop would coexist on the same server together. Xaraya setup took about an hour. Scoop never got installed. This is, in large part, due to the fact that no one will sit down and update the documentation. Is that acceptible? Since I'm posting this log without checking with people first, I'm changing the names to protect privacy. Here's the IRC log of her frustration.

Feature Request: digest header and footer blocks
|
|
By Emil Volcheck , Section Wishlist []
Posted on Sat Jun 07, 2003 at 12:00:00 PM PST

There is currently one block "digest_headerfooter"
defined for story digests. The same block is
prepended and appended to each digest.
I'd like to request that there be two blocks
defined "digest_header" and "digest_footer" for
the beginning and end of each digest, respectively.
I help run the scoop site
concerns.youngmath.net.
It would be helpful to arrange for the digest to include "masthead" information for our group at
the end of each digest, but we don't want to repeat the same information at the start of each
digest.

So I've been thinking of a few things I'd like to see as premium member benefits. Apologies if I missed seeing them in previous requests.
