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

"There are currently 31 members, and 91 guests online."
Wouldn't it be cool, to have a box that gives you that sort of information? A quick glance to remind you that you are talking to a large global audience.(And should maybe spell check your work)

Hope this isn't too stupid a question. we have a new scoop site up and running, but we are unable to post certain stories from the storylist. Does it have to do with the length of the stories?
The only reason why we think it might be length is because shorter stories with the same topic and section selections CAN be posted.
It's be really great if you could make some suggestions. Could it be that our server is not adequate or something like that? Thanks a lot - otherwise scoop is running just fine!!!

Just letting people know that I am now running the scoop.kuro5hin.org server. Rusty and I talked about it and determined that he was busy enough with kuro5hin.org, and that I didn't have enough to do ;-) So now I'm upgrading scoop here, and just letting you all know that things might get a little wonky for a bit, as I upgrade it from the January 3rd cvs.. Update [2001-3-13 11:4:52 PST by hurstdog]: ok the update seems to have gone well, if you see anything odd, post it below.

I've had a couple of questions from people signing up with a webmail account about not being able to log in after visiting the account confirmation page (which seems to have displayed properly).

Anyone interested in LDAP authentication?

Hey, I've written a quickish hack against the 0.6 tarball that:
- uses the realname users field to store a full name (kinda like gecos field)
- uses the nickname as the LDAP UID
- adds an auth option that operates after (uname && pass) and (uname && mail) that assumes that you've authenticated to LDAP via Apache::AuthNetLDAP
- displays the realname on stories and comments, though it falls back to nickname if realname is null

Template module

Hi,
I just discovered Scoop today, and I wonder why you (developpers of Scoop) didn't choose to use a Perl Template module (like HTML::Template) to implement them.

Scoop to Email Gateway, a Plan
|

By rusty , Section Code []

For a long while, there's been some call to add an email gateway of some kind to Scoop. With Digest.pl, we have a one-way feed of story summaries, at least, but I think there's call for more. For example, one scoop-using project, Opennic, maintains both a scoop site and a mailing list, which basically overlap as to content. Some people are really married to the email interface, and do not want to switch to a web-based discussion. By far the best solution all around would be to have a transparent, two-way email to Scoop gateway. Below are my ideas on how to implement this.

RSS feed in a BOX

I've been poking around with RSS for my scoop site and with the help of hurstdog and a few others have gotten it going pretty well, I think. The next thing I would like to see a box that would display an RSS feed from another site on scoop. Of course, beggers can't be choosers. ;-> Has anyone done this? If so, do you mind sharing?
