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

I am very interested in getting URLs to 'RDF' files from operators of Scoop sites.

This is the title of my new scoop site. The idea is to provide a base for urban explorers, infiltrators, freight hoppers, etc. The site is based in Philadelphia, PA, US, so it's geared toward Philly stuff for now. I'm hoping to attract users from all over, though, so the site will act as a community HQ for UE people.

I hate sections. That's my personal preference. For K5, I've bookmarked the "Everything" section, and many others have done the same. Because it's a personal preference, it would be great if it could be set in the preferences: "Show all stories on the front page?"

Higher ranking for equal scored comments with more votes

Instead of:
- Foo (5.00 / 1)
- Bar (5.00 / 5)
- Baz (5.00 / 1)
- Qux (4.00 / 7)
rate posts with more votes higher than equally scored ones:
- Bar (5.00 / 5)
- Foo (5.00 / 1)
- Baz (5.00 / 1)
- Qux (4.00 / 7)
Ofcourse, eventually placing posts ranked highly by trusted users higher, or having a minimum number of votes before high placement, would be nice.

Ok guys, I got about jack for feedback on my original story, hopefully now that I have some code, people will be more willing to suggest changes. My code, and an explanation of the algorithm are below. An example can be found at my site if you look in the main menu click on User Ranks.

This topic came up a week ago. I am getting ready to implement this as part of a promotion for my site. The idea is that we come up with a fair and accurate measure of total system activity on a per user basis....in my case, the top 10 most active users (in regards to posting stories, comments, and moderating) get prizes.

I think that the email digest is great, especially for your not-so connected dialup users.
In this article I pressent an idea for improving the way email users can access a scoop site.

Question about dead submissions
|
|
By slaytanic killer , Section Help! []

I've got a couple short questions about rejected submissions, which I'm sure is a dead subject, but I can't find it on a search.
. I know that publicly viewable rejected articles could turn the submissions queue into a troll queue. If I were to implement a solution, is that the only foreseeable problem, or are there other things to design around?
. If a solution were to fit criteria and have no apparent flaws, would it likely be put into CVS after some small mulling-over period? Would an article/diary entry on K5 to get ideas help matters?
Again, these are just questions I've never had answered, and I won't necessarily contribute a patch or nudge anyone to implement this. Thanks to anyone who answers these.
