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

Scoop Lives!

I was on a wee trip up country to do my presentation about my site in Ullapool and I got some computer porn to read in the car. Opening one of the jazz mags, what do I find but an article (not available online ?yet?) about Building Community A Websites with LAMP including a mention of dear old Scoop... (LAMP is, I finally worked out, Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl - substitute [PHP|Ruby] for Perl and [Postgres|anything else] for MySQL to taste...)

Them Damn Edit Boxes

As an editor on K5, I probably spend more than my fair share of my time staring at a pair of story submission edit boxes.
They're too narrow and too short for sensible working with long stories.

Modstorms

I've noticed lately on kuro5hin, frequent Diary posts shouting about these things posters call "modstorms": abusive acts of retaliation against people one dislikes or "loses out to" in a discussion, by taking grief out directly on the person you have issues with by moderating down (indiscriminantly) all their comments. I propose a "counterweight" to this behavior on the scoop side of things.

Ever wanted to be a Scoop admin? I've got a Scoop site to give away. Seriously.
I registered the domain practicalunix.com about a year ago with grand intentions, most of which you can read about here. I've had no time to develop it, though.

Multiple different ways of formatting short dates—such as d.mm.yy (16.04.02)—should be added to Scoop to make it more accessible to people from outside of the United States of America.

yet another themes idea

So despite all the other ideas that have come through here over time about themes that have never been implemented, I'm posting another one.
The difference is that I'm submitting this for feedback before I start working on it, rather than putting it up as a wishlist item. I have a second instance of apache running on my new computer on port 8080 (currently behind a firewall; I'll let you know when it takes over public server duties from my old computer) with a separate scoop codebase so I'm guaranteed not to break my YASS, which is running on the same computer.
