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 assert that Scoop should offer file uploading via http. Any previous implementations or ideas?

It seems that every popular site eventually gives rise to the desire to get site usage stats. Due to Scoop's particular design, we should consider having powerful built-in stats reporting.

Announcing the hotlist_flex box
|

This variant of the hotlist box provides some additional functionality. It allows the user to move between three different views of the box. First, is the default hotlist view. Second, the stories hotlist view, which displays all the stories written by the user in order that they may more easily track comments made. Third, and perhaps most useful is the Replies view, which displays a dynamic list of stories having comments by the logged in user, to which there are unread replies.
The box is available for beta testing here. After I sift through any feedback I get, I'll post it to the Scoop Box Exchange. Update [2002-1-12 7:54:46 by hillct]: Version 0.2.2 has been posted to the FTP site. It incorporates Rusty's CGI parameter fix and a better method for checking logged-in status.

The Computer Professionals Opposing Drug Testing (ip4noman.org) is an educational and advocacy organization dedicated to aboloshing the bizarre and perverse practice of forcing people to urinate for a job.
We've just converted to Scoop, so be sure to use us as a sounding board for any corporate drug testing news. Know of any good companies that don't test?? Let us know!

We are not a new Scoop site per se, but we have just added services, and have upgraded to the latest Scoop, and Slash 2.2.1. With the added capacity in the move to our new server as a result of the demise of Engaging.Net, we have decided to also enter the hosting market. Private (.org, .us, .cx, etc) individules and non profit organizations can host for $24.95 a month with no setup fee and no long term contract.

Yes, that's right! Ingenuitas.org is up and running! What, you might ask, is the meaning of all of this? What is Ingenuitas.org? Why is it here? What will it do? And how do I pronounce it? Yes, all of these questions, and more, will be answered. Just read on!

It looks even more like a default Scoop install than Ingenuitas.org, but Practical Unix is somewhat live and kicking.
I won't rehash the single story on the site too much except to say that it's intended as a discussion forum where anyone should be able to feel comfortable asking questions about getting things done with a Unix or Unix-like system.
