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

Supermojo and Ratings Visibility

Scoop fails to display ratings on a superuser's own hidden (rating<1) comment when that superuser's mojo is in the nontrusted range but who has supermojo. Namely, scoop fails to check correctly for supermojo status when determining whether to make the ratings visible. This only affects a small number of users, but it should get fixed.
Update [2001-2-15 17:52:42 by rusty]: cp found me on irc and we fixed this, but let's post this submission for posterity.

Code to Anonymise the Submission Queue

There has been quiet a number of discussion on how people discriminate against stories written by a certian person and vote it -1 without even reading through the story and judging the story subjectively. Few people have suggested that the Story Submission Queue should be made anonymous to get the desired result of "No discrimination based on author".
Here I present hacks to scoop code base that can get the desired result.

User Submitted Related Links

Just a quick idea for making it possible for users to add their own "Related Links" to a Scoop story, as opposed to having to post them as a comment.

Polls attached to stories

I have noticed in my scoop site that polls which are attached to a story, their entries in the pollanswers table are set to NULL (votes column). This then screws up voting.

Editor Flag in Editorials

The job of editors (me) could be made easier if users submitting editorials had the option of setting a flag on their comment that says: "This editorial requires the attention of an editor/admin, because it addresses matters of spelling/formatting/etc." A list of such flagged comments would then be available for perusal by editors/admins and more easily accessed.

If you look at a range of BBS/weblog kind of softwares, you will see ability to filter rude/obscene words in user comments. How about having that feature in a slightly restricted way in scoop?

I have an idea for scoop that I am very excited about. I understand that it isn't yet researched, but I want to get ideas/comments, etc from the scoop developers. It's possible that what I want to do is already there...
