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

In rewriting a lot of the section permission stuff that I had the
misfortune to forget was on a drive I reformatted, I've been able to
do some things different/better. One thing I'm having questions about
though is, how to handle sections/stories/comments the user doesn't
have permission to see?

Lateral thinking on the ol' installation blues

Maybe one way to improve the install process for Scoop would be to try and get it into one of the bigger Linux distro - they're the installation experts you lot could concentrate on developing functionality.
Let me expound...

It'd be nice to have another page linked from the "User Info" page that consisted of stats about the user's activity on the scoop site - join date, number of comments posted, number of comments rated, number of stories submitted/accepted, number of diary entries, etc.

Comment Prefs

How far along is the comment pref form/save code?
I was thinkin' about hacking some permanence into the comment nav-bar, when I found all these comment pref forms and comment pref save functions. Looks like it should all work, but the code that displays the comments doesn't seem to know about it. *ponder*
I'm using a 0.7 nightly build, but I don't know from when. :( I few weeks ago? Pretty sure.

I want to be able to submit photos with articles, and have some sensible image scaling mechamism behind it, say maxwith/height, thumbs and such. If this would be in scoop, I could stop writing my own newsweb thingy :)
Should I contribute or nag more?

It would be nice if comments or replies made by the original story author were marked specially. How about some text like (Author's Reply) next to the subject line?
It's a little annoying to post a reply to someone's comment, and later notice several similar comments, apparently made without reading the reply.

Distinguishing between comments and signatures
|

By Andrew Dvorak , Section Code []

I'm positive that this is probably the easiest request to implement, but maybe it would be a feature welcomed by the masses to be implemented in the base code.
What if user comments were to be enclosed in HTML comments that distinguish between the body of a user's comments and the user's signature.

YASS: MovieCosmos

After several failed attempts with slash on my own box, and a semi-successful attempt using slashhosting.com I have finally seen the light. As a result www.MovieCosmos.com has made the switch to Scoop and will hopefully never look back.
MovieCosmos is meant to be a central clearinghouse for movie releated news, links, and info.
