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

On my small but growing scoop based site (stetsonsucks.com) I am forseeing a need for a 'user ping'...

After a few hours of preparation and a couple months of development InTune (http://www.intune.org) opens it's doors. Visit InTune to discuss anything and everything having to do with music, including albums, concerts, instruments, sound systems, software, tools, artists and all that stuff. Oh, and guess what! It's all based on Scoop.... :)

As the sun rose yesterday morning, it found a very tired sysadmin and a brand new
Scoop-based website - TolkienGeeks.net! Reading over the list of scoop sites, I
can see that my suspicion is correct, this is the first Fantasy-oriented scoop site!
So go, discuss, have fun! All types of fantasy are welcome by me, but of course
its the community that truly decides :)

preview bug when submitting story

not sure if this is the right place for bugs on kuro5hin, but its what i could find.
i'm running into a bug that when i try to preview a story i'm post to kuro5hin i get taken to the front page (www.kuro5hin.org) rather then a preview of my story.
this could potentially be because it was a rather long compilation of links destined for MLP. perhaps the story was too long?
thanks,
worldbeat

How about a checkbox option during comment submission to not include your sig?

Adding ispell to the submission/commenting process

As part of the submission process, incorporated into the current "preview" function, there should be a function that runs the submission's text (minus html tags) through ispell. The results should then be displayed, with malformed words highlighted in red for the user's attention. Indeed, as implemented, it would be easy to apply the spelling function to user comments as well, as a user-definable setting.

I'm trying to create a site where ideas can be submitted, and then voted on by the community, with discussion/comments on the ideas also encouraged.
But I just can't work out how to make Scoop do this.

For aggregators that take advantage of it, it would be nice to have the intro text for stories available in the RSS feed.
