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'm configuring (locally) a Scoop site that is not going to use english for the web interface (Spanish) but I'm finding that I can't translate all strings without touching the code under /lib, mainly the user preferences and the comments toolbar.

This a repost of a story from the main K5 site concerning two features which I think are very important to integral conversations and quality discussion. At the suggestion of two people, I'm posting it here.

Scoop eating all the memory

This is odd. I've nearly configured (locally) a Scoop site, just for having it in case I'll move to a hosting company later, but I've a nasty problem: If I click on 'vote' (for polls), 'submit story' the apache process starts to eat all RAM until the kernel kill him. The version is 0.8.1, what can be happening? Sorry for the bad engRish.

Scooping the Macintosh Performa 6116CD

At this point, anyone can install Scoop. It's so easy that the challenge now is to install it
on the most severly whacked out machine they can. Until someone installs Scoop on an X-Box, I think
this ought to take the cake: Scoop 0.8.1 powered by MKLinux 2.0.38 running on a Macintosh Performa 6116CD
(PowerPC 601).

Returning A Story To The Edit Queue

On April 18, Rusty added
a long-awaited Edit Queue to Scoop, the code that
operates our beloved Kuro5hin.org. The basic purposes of this was to provide
two hours in which the author of an article can receive editorial feedback (eg,
you misspelled this word, this is sentence is unclear, etc.), without having
votes to worry about until the article looked perfect in the eyes of the author.
After the optional two hours (or shorter if the author chooses), the story would
move into the traditional Moderation Queue where voting would take place. Once a
story is up for voting, edits by the author cannot be made. Or so we thought.....
Scoop developers, especially Rusty, to warn you now, you may require of yourselves
brown
paper bags while reading and dealing with this article.

Not exactly new, but a notable 'campfire' scoop site nonetheless. Functioning more or less as a rogue blog, the account features have been turned off... Drop by. Badgergoose.com.

Well, it's not 100% up just yet (the graphics aren't all done, and neither is the site colors, etc) but it's fully functional - sign up now! The primary focus of this site is guppies, but most live bearers will be discussed here. :-)
