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

User Bio's should have all of the formatting capabilities available to comments.
People use "Public Key" to describe themselves and their rating policy because it offers better formatting capabilities.

So, does CVS contain everything needed to make the edit queue work? I've just updated, and I see *some* of the relevant pieces, but not all, and an article I just submitted to my site as a test did not have any options for pushing it to the edit queue...

I have an account on HostRocket.com. It's a shared hosting server. Is there any way to set up a Scoop site without root access?

Frank Shamrock has been breaking necks and dropping people on their heads since he got into the fight game. The 5 time Ultimate Fighting Champion redefined what a fighter should be through his combination of conditioning, striking, and submissions training. Now, he's redefining what a web site should be with the release of Frankshamrock.com. Powered by scoop and staffed by the meanest webmasters around, extreme caution should be used when hitting this site - it hits back.

"Abstain" in Moderate Queue

Sometimes I can tell I'm not going to interested in a story before I even read it. If it deals with programming, cars, or someone's pet rabbit, I'm probably going to vote abstain. Unfortunately, I still have to load the story and all associated comments to vote on it. It would be nice if I didn't have to.

Strategies for SubSections

I have been debating whether or not to use subsections on my site. I have already done away with topics since they are more or less useless. However they did provide one feature that just having a half dozen sections can't, they told the user a bit more about the story and where to find other similar stories. This, quite clearly, was the purpose of subsections. But subsections provide their own unique problem, how do you display them?
After talking with people in #scoop I have come up with a few ideas but I don't see any of them as perfect and I wonder if anybody else has some better ideas.
