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

finally, i got scoop installed on my test bed. what stop me is that scoop always crash the httpd child process randomly.
once i trace to Apache::Session::Mysql, i can't get thru. except changing mysqld settings. i found that i have initially setup mysqld with default-char-set=BIG5, of course, i live in Hong Kong. then i switched back to latin1, the default. then restart everything, and scoop now ran w/o fault, for 6hrs.

DigitalEarth.org was conceived of
as a
Slashdot for the Digital Earth. We use the term Digital Earth as a
catch all for talking about the environmental information infrastructure, which
includes technology to connect geographic data, environmental models, and
visualizations. We don't envision the Digital Earth literally, i.e. as a
monolithic system or entity; rather we view it as the process of connecting
together information about the planet.

Feature Request: Diary comments in Replies
|

So, Scoop has the nifty feature of displaying new replies to a user's comments in a little box at the right of the screen. However, this does not include new comments posted to a user's diary entries (and, I would assume, stories), which means that I have to click two places to figure out if indeed I have no new comments waiting for my attention. How difficult would it be to implement that? How much more load on the server would that generate?
Also, another thing that bugs me about the replies feature is that any given new reply doesn't leave the list until you view the entire story that the comment is attached to. Simply clicking on the link to the reply doesn't clear it.
If both of these are more Kuro5hin.org-specific implementation issues as opposed to Scoop feature set implementation issues, let me know and I'll take my whine elsewhere...

Ampersands in link URLs incorrectly handled in digest
|
|
By haflinger , Section Code []

Scoop often translates the ampersand character into & which mostly is a good idea. However, it shouldn't perform this translation in URLs. It does so when it formats the digest for sending.
