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

The toughest part of getting scoop to work for me was getting php and mod_perl to behave with each other in apache. Here is the story of how I learned to build apache with php4 and mod_perl in order to run scoop.

Scoop Tuning

My small webserver (AMD K6-2 300, 500MB RAM) supports my simple, 1K hits/day website. Upon running apache's benchmark tool, I notice that it can barely dish out 1 request per second. While this is currently fine for my site, I would still like to know what can be done to speed up mod_perl, and in particular that way scoop would be set up using vhosts.

Editing Articles Resets Polls

Apparently, editing a story on k5's current build resets the poll votes -- when the article is "updated", current vote totals are reset to 0 and the previous results are discarded (though it's not clear whether previous voters are permitted to vote again). This applies equally to submissions in the queue and to diaries.

One of the latest things I have implemented in
my scoop site is a hit counter.
I figured what better place to do it than in the same mysql database that scoop runs in. Below I will run through how to set one of these up in your own site.

As a Scoop user, I'd like there to be a Hall of Fame page
for articles,
like the Slashdot has.

My installation of scoop is already a couple of days old but still the painful memory lingers. Perhaps the only way to purge myself of these emotions is to write them down for others to see. But where do I post them? They are not bugs. They are not new code. They are not even feature requests. Hopefully though, they can make the journey a little less painful for those still to come.

Mock Updates

Scoop shouldn't allow mock updates.
Update [2001-2-15 18:48:13 by Inoshiro]: I agree, but Canada's failed education system has left illiterate and thus unable to read the source, much less write any changes myself.
