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

Problems running Scoop

Hello all.
I recently completed a Scoop install that went (more or less, mostly less) smoothly. The schemas were created correctly and the code appears to be in the right place.
Unfortunately, after including the httpd-<mysite>.conf file in my local Apache's httpd.conf, I cannot access the site. I get a 403 error and the only thing that shows up in my logs is the confirmation of the 403 error and an error message stating "cannot read directory for multi". I know that this is a content negotiation issue, and I believe that this is an error in locating the scoop directory but after both RTFM and RTFW, I can not seem to find either a precedent or a solution to this. I would be grateful for any help that you guys might be able to give me.

on debugging some of my own boxes output i noticed a show source of the scoop generated pages has ^M's ans the newline character. Is having a DOS newline an option? I would rather have \n as im on unix 99% of the time.

Knowledge of html as a barrier to participation on Scoop sites

Users on my Scoop site www.dialognow.org often complain about how difficult html is. Recently someone posted this as part of their comment: I hate HTML= Horrendous,Terrible,Meaningless Language!There are a number of members who (write well, and have a lot of interesting) but choose not to post front page stories because they cannot deal with posting links. I see the need to know html acting as a real barrier to users being able to post quality stories & comments. Is this problem being faced by other Scoop sites? And is it important for Scoop to make the posting comments and stories interface accessible to non tech-savvy users?

Scoop Universe. Unification of scoop sites.

Hello friends!
What about the unification of multiple scoop sites in order to have the same stories queue?
Whenever a reader post a story he should be asked whether he wants this story to be posted to the site he is logged in only, or alternatively to all scoop sites that are members of the universe.
Also every scoop administrator should be able to choose if he accepts stories posted to other scoop sites to enter into the queue of his own site.
It is very nice to have those nice scoop stars, but he have to implement a gravity law for the sites that wish to enter to a universe.
Of course the only common thing between scoop stars will be the queue. Every scoop site should be able to have different members, different database and different voting algorithm in order to judge the stories.

Multi-sub-domain sites

I wanted to amend Scoop so that I could use multiple sub-domains for my site and then change the behaviour of the site depending on what sub-domain you came in.
My site is called Scottish Political Discussion at domain name scottish.politicaldiscussion.org
I wanted to host multiple sites like American Political Discussion at domain name american.politicaldiscussion.org with the images etc changing depending on which sub-domain you came in on.
