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

Makeshift Counters for Stories

Now that scoop tracks registered users and which stories they've accessed recently with the viewed_stories table, then it would take very little effort to use that data as a sort of counter for how many views stories have gotten. This would only count how many registered users have visited a story, but it's better than nothing, and maybe could be visible only to the author and admins as just to squelch a simple curiousity.

Inconsistant URL handling

Scoop does not seem to handle URL's correctly. This is a minor, UI point, but it sometimes confuses the hell out of me.
Disclaimer: I've never so much coded in perl, let alone hacked on scoop.

Often I have wanted to submit an article to K5 that was incomplete - Perhaps I wanted to document a project from start to finish, or I wanted to chronicle a set of events in real time that hadn't all yet occurred; and you really can't do it.

A feature which I posted in my diary on Kuro5hin and was well recieved as a potentially useful time saving feature is this: make individual users diary pages hotlistable.

Slash 2.0 has a nifty messaging feature, one benefit of which is you can be notified when someone replies to your message. This ought to help threads live longer, since people would see a reply they might otherwise miss on their comment list.
Herein, I propose a similar feature for scoop.

As some of you may or may not know I once ran a website for music lovers called InTune. Over the course of it's life it has had many difficulties with finding a decent host since day one.
