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

I dont know about you, but managing all the different adsense channels on my websites is a big pain in the ass. Not only do I have many different channels defined in google, but I'm starting to find that registered users need to be fed different ads then the anonymous users. This is a lot to keep track of!
Ad Manager (adman) is my attempt to help manage the ad inventory found on any large scoop site.
There are two box files:
adman_showads
adman_admin

The Oil Drum is a community that discusses myriad ideas related to Hubbert's Peak/Peak Oil, sustainable development and growth, etc., and the many implications of these ideas on politics, economics, and our daily lives.
We started up in March on Blogger and built up quite a readership there. We moved to Scoop because we wanted to further the sense of community among the site's readers.

Interface of new Scoop site with pre-existing plain old webpage
|
|
By joe a , Section Help! []

I recently launched the Pioneer Exchange to create a space for the long-term care community to discuss/share new ideas about "culture change" in the world of nursing homes and assisted living communities. The Pioneer Network is a national non-profit umbrella group of sorts for this issue (we had a story related to our work in Newsweek last week), and in my new role as Director of Networking & Development I need to figure out how to integrate the Scoop site (the Exchange) with the now clunky but soon-to-be-redesigned plain old website.
Ideally the two sites could work "hand in glove," whereby contributions to the Exchange could be archived in some way on a more static webpage.
Does anyone have any ideas about how best to approach this? The dKos site has a dKospedia that seems to offer promise (in terms of building into the Scoop code a way to automatically link to/create content on the dKos Wiki).

ScoopHost.com invites you to help test shared accounts

Update [2005-6-25 12:16:1 by hillct]: Thanks to everyone who tested this feature. The testing was a complete success and has resulted in the Shared Database Feature Patch. Going forward, dev.scoophost.com may be unavailable at any given time but may also some cool new features under development, so I invite the curious to keep an eye on it.
ScoopHost.com invites you to test shared accounts whereby accounts on one scoop site can be shared with another scoop site. There are currently some limits to this sharing, but when you create an account on one of the test sites and activate it as normal using the URL found in the activation email, you should then be able to use those credentials to authenticate to the other test site without first creating an account there.The two test sites are: http://dev.scoophost.comAnd
http://dev2.scoophost.com
Please test this out and let us know if you run into problems with it.
Thanks,
The ScoopHost.com Development Team
