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 think scoop has potential as a tool for community support in a commercial context.
i see nothing in the faq re licensing, etc.
what's the deal?

Edit Queue Suggestion

It would be nice if users could have their edit queue privileges revoked through a simple vote. This could be achieved by allowing stories to be voted out of the edit queue. If a particular user has had X% of their stories voted out of the edit queue, then they can no longer utilize it until they get a story posted.
If anyone wants to implement this idea, go ahead, because I'm not anytime soon.

I've noticed something odd with the upgrade or maybe I need to check the new configuration?

One of the most obvious features that Scoop seems to be missing is the simple ability to click a lick on a story so that it does not show up for you again.
Use case: I have read a story. I am done with it. Make it go away...please!

Scoop on Apache 2?

Hi folks,
I've been wanting to play with scoop for a while, and I decided to go for it. One niggle though: I run Apache 2.x everywhere. Is it possible to install scoop on a Apache 2 webserver? And, if yes, how?
