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

Mojo is a fine tool for discouraging and defending against trolls and the like. But what if the community wants to simultaneously defend against a bad comment (hide it from view) but at the same time encourage the writer to stick around and keep trying?

I just had a look at the queue on Kuro5hin, and some other loser has again submitted a hopeless story into edit. Which led me to remember some thoughts I've had on edit queues.

I'm in the process of installing the latest stable release of scoop on one of my servers for a client. Everything seams to have installed corerctly however an error occours whenever accessing the site. All that is in the error log is "[error] Can't call method "prepare" without a package or object reference at /webserver/scoop-0.8.1/lib/Scoop/DB.pm line 65 during global destruction." I've been banging my head on this one for nearly 5 hours and haven't been able to hack together a solution.
Thanks.

I want to be able to edit my stories in a file and then simply browse to and upload that.
Er, that's it.

Formatting for the HTML challenged.

For some it is rather difficult to write a story, people that have no coding experience can be left out in the cold when it comes to formatting a submission. In this "story" I point out a semi elegant solution for the HTML inhibited.

I think there's a reasonable number of people not rating comments because of the disadvantages it brings. I for one can't vote if I wanted to, because 50+ form inputs send my system swirling into a crash. I think this can be helped.
