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

Ads on this site.
By hurstdog , Section News [] Posted on Wed Apr 24, 2002 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Starting today, we will no longer accept ads for any sites other than scoop sites. All scoop sites get free ads here, 1000 to 10000 impressions at a time. Also all Scoop hosting companies will get free ads as well. Ads for any other type of site will be declined. Let me know what you think of the change below.

Opera vs Scoop Redux
By UncleMikey , Section Code [] Posted on Tue Apr 23, 2002 at 12:00:00 PM PST
One of my users on Radio Free Tomorrow finally figured out why Opera broke when used with Scoop sites (particularly mine :-() -- Opera is allergic to spaces in cookies! I had my 'site_id' in my httpd.conf set to 'Radio Free Tomorrow'. This should result in a cookie of 'Radio Free Tomorrow_session', but Opera drops everything after the first space! I took the spaces out. It works now :-) (7 comments) Comment >>

"Auto-post is on" unnecessary
By Vectro , Section Code [] Posted on Tue Apr 23, 2002 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Although it is useful to have the rest of the message ("A posting decision will be made after 36 hours if no threshold is reached.") the status of specific configuration items is of interest only to those who run Scoop sites, not those who merely use them. Plus, the first sentence dosen't really add any content, because anyone who reads the second sentence will know what is going on. (5 comments) Comment >>
