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 recently got around to redesigning www.pugglewump.org, the result is one new scoop site and the old site elsewhere.
The new site is boston.pugglewump.org - it's dedicated to providing an online discussion site for boston area DJ's and ravers.
While the old site is now at original.pugglewump.org - which serves it's old purpose as a general discussion site.
www.pugglewump.org sends the user to a portal page.

I'm still new to perl hacking and I'm probably way over my head. Nevertheless, I am going to attempt to add a limit to "one story per user" to the mod queue. Naturally, I have no idea whatsoever on where a few things lie and how to use them :)

This is my first patch so it may be badly coded or even incorrect in some parts. Hopefully, if it does work, this patch will change the frontpage posting algorithm to be more in tune with the community's wishes.

So I tried to do an rdf_fetch on k5's backend, after all it's one of the defaults.. previously it worked, but then a few days ago or so, the fetch failed with a not-well-formed error message.

Add images, background tints, sounds, etc
|

It would be nice to be able to
+ add a small graphic, a thumbnail link, etc, to stories.
+ being able to choose a shade or tint for the background colour when submitting stories.
+ mouse over image changes and mouse over sounds.
This would add more variety to each site and should only be used in certain stories where it is relevant. Queue's are currently blocking text not correctly formatted, and so users could simply preview the image, within the story and continue to vote as per usual. Editors can make any final touches or adjustments if needed. Maybe files could be uploaded, when submitting stories and with some filtering image size limits may also be set. Surely scoop will need to integrate multimedia basics like this.

This is probably a very small feature request, and definately nothing earth shattering, but I figured I would queue it up.
