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.

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

has anyone considered adding a licensing option to their submit pages, a drop down that lets users choose all reserved or one of the creative commons models.

I've been working on setting up a Scoop site these last few days. I've found that Scoop uses FONT and TABLE elements liberally and makes no attempt whatsoever to leverage CSS.

From my working life I have experience with two types of permission groups. I see one of them implemented within Scoop, so I'm wondering if anyone wants to take a crack and putting in the other type.

While scoop is a great content management platform one of the things that has always irked me is the clutter on the right side of the page. There are far to many options - "User preferences", "Display Preferences", "Comment Preferences", "Your comments", "Your stories", "Your ads", "Your diaries", "User info", "Review hidden comments", "Renew Subscription", "Logout", etc. In my opinion, most are either redundant or are not essential things that need to be on every page all the time. For example - how often do you need to modify your comment prefs? - I've never changed mine on any scoop site. So then why do I need the link right in front of me everywhere I go? I don't!
