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

Trolling is a problem in any online community. I'd like to see a killfile or "Ignore User" option where you can click on a button in a user's comments and add him or her to your killfile or bozo list.

When modifying Scoop blocks and boxes and other code, make sure to test against both logged-in and un-logged in access. Test every time you make a change. Trust me.

Hello friends... I dont know if this has already been posted, if yes then dump it..
I am suggesting a "donate PC" option in order to solve the fake accounts problem ... At least the vote originated from the "donated" PC should count more than any other vote.

Opera Bug

I thought maybe it was just me. Opera used to work against K5 and other scoop sites; then, one day, it stopped.
It doesn't seem to be just me. Other Opera users have reported they can't use Radio Free Tomorrow, and one of them has tested against K5 as well with the same results.
The symptoms: users can't stay logged in -- changing pages drops their login; and users can't post anonymous while not logged in -- they get the form key error.

Scoop Ad Exchange

Now that ads work well and are easy enough to implement - I did it, how hard could it be - I was thinking about setting up some sort of ad exchange for scoop sites. I think that it would be a nice, easy way for some of us poor college students (read: me) to get some free advertising on other sites. What does everybody think of this? Would anybody be interested?

Further to this story and this follow-up posted yesterday, Konqueror 2.2 has a bug that causes some templates not to display values when using the block editor.
