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

Scoop::Ads

Well, its finally out. Scoop::Ads version 0.1. And you get to be the beta tester! I checked in all of the changes to the cvs repository, and I updated this site first. I want your help in testing this though, as many eyes are better than 2. So read this story first, then mosey on over to the submit ad page and start advertising your scoop site! But read this story first, and don't report bugs I already know about :-)
Update [2001-12-31 16:58:43 by hurstdog]: I marked the bugs and features below that I fixed. The ad admin interface should be a little nicer now.

Scoop as Helpdesk Management System

I just had a cool idea, that I thought I'd run by y'all (perhaps there should be a topic for "creative uses of Scoop"). I think that with a little imagination, Scoop would make a pretty decent help desk management system.

How can I put a "Post A Comment" link on my story summaries?

I would like to have the "Post a Comment" link on all my story summaries, so that people can post a comment from the front page and the section summaries. But I can't seem to get it to work. This seems like it would be a fairly easy modification. Can anyone help?

Yes, another in the series of dot-sites, it's Vegdot, a site dedicated to the discussion of all aspects of Vegetarianism and Veganism, from Dining, Health, to Animal Rights and Non-Violence.
(DJBH should be relieved... perhaps I'll stop posting OT stuff to his site ;^))

New Scoop Features

Its that time again, for me to post a big list of all the features that would be cool to have in scoop. None of these have been implemented yet, but some have been started. Features that have already been started will have the person's name beside them. Also, in a few days hillct will start maintaining a list of whose working on what. A 'task-manager' if you will. We haven't been using the sourceforge task manager lately, mostly cause I don't like it very much. Hillct volunteered to keep track of this, so now he is! Thanks hillct!

Backup strategies?

I'm bad. I haven't backed up my scoop db in over a year. (actually, I've never backed it up!)
Is there a way to have scoop actually do its own backups, via (say) the cron interface? If not, some information about how to back up and restore the database would be nice to have included with the scoop docs, for mysql newbies like me. (yes, despite the fact that I've been running scoop for over a year, I still know very little about mysql.)
(This was prompted mostly by k5's extended downtime, and partly by the fact that I've actually gotten a couple of active members now and I don't want to lose their stuff.)

Smart Searching

After many long months/days/years/eons of the scoop searching engine lacking, hillct has jumped to the rescue. By alerting us to MySQL's ability to do Fulltext Searches and then coding up a patch for it, we now have really cool searching in scoop. All with just a small bit of additions and a lot of sql work by hillct.
