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

Story preview time minimum

It'd be nice if Scoop forced people to at least GLANCE at their story before hitting "submit." Perhaps enforce a 0.1 second per word minimum after the initial preview before a submit is accepted?

Hi,
I currently run a small weblog using phpweblog. I have a number of categories down the left hand side in a block and the only moderation I need is for me to verify any submissions. Works great for a small site with one moderator...

Ratings in Comment Searches

It would be useful to have listed, in comment summaries returned by the searches, whether or not I have specifically rated that comment or not (and perhaps what the rating is). This would be particularly useful while reviewing hidden comments, to avoid repeatedly opening the same comment only to find I have already rated it.

Usability Testing

I am proposing to do some usability testing on Scoop.
Usability testing is traditionally done as part of a measure-test-change-measure cycle.
The tests will therefore need to be integrated into a development programme with a live site and a starting code base.

Valid HTML?

I'm just wondering, before bringing it to the -dev list, how many people would be interested in a version of Scoop that was really anal about being valid HTML. I may be the only freak out there that would be interested, but I thought I'd ask...

Over the last few days I've been experimenting with using the apache mod_gzip module with my scoop installation. I was fianlly able to put together a working setup which reduces the page size by as much as 85 percent!

Sumballo is a new Scoop site I'm working on. The goal is to be a place where people can post ideas about technology like computer languages, hardware, etc. I'm hoping that it can become a place where people can announce new projects they are working on or new ways to solve old problems. Things like that. Basically, an idea site with the goal of being used as a tool to help debug and develop concepts. Right now there's just a lot of news postings and some opinion pieces up there. I would love to turn the site into an open forum for people working on papers for publication or just random folks trying to start a new open source (or otherwise) project.

Just looking through the SAG, I noticed mention of comments accidently disappearing because of a mis-click by an admin. What if an admin user could turn on/off all admin functions with a click?
