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

Hello boys, hello girls !
I haven't seen any messages about getting Scoop to display in other languages (French, Spanish and others).
I ask this question not because i'd like this feature to be done for next monday :o), but because i'd like to help coding for this purpose (i'm French and cannot read/write any English. (great joke isn't it ?! :o(() ).
Bye bye.

Glad to see Scoop.K5 is back up and running. I thought I'd drop a note about a Scoop site that I run, Opons.com, the Open Coupon Database. Users can read and post deals available at all kinds of online sites, including several for free money. Anyway, it runs a modified Scoop with more changes (hopefully) to come. Enjoy.

"Post As" hack

To make the scoop UI more usefriendly, I suggest that the "Post as" drop-down not be displayed at all if Anonymous post is not allowed on a scoop system. If this is allowed (as it is now), it looks a bit ridiculous because you have a dropdown box, but nothing to choose from.

At the moment, revisiting a discussion means you have to rely on remembering where you left off. However, some of the other web-forum software around keeps track for you of which messages you've read and which you haven't. Would this be a good thing for Scoop?

As much as you can check and double check, often you will make a typo or another mistake and not see if until it is pointed out in an editorial comment. It would be nice to be able to go back and make changes once a story has been submitted.

At http://www.disclosed.org, we've been hard at work trying to create a safe haven for Slashdot refugees who have noticed thier harsh decline over the past year or two. (Is Slashdot a cuss word here?). We have a lively staff of about 4 or 5 people, depending on what you count as a person. Please read more.

Sometime in the past month I updated from cvs and now the timestamps on stories have gone away. Does anyone know the procedure for getting them back?

I'm not very familiar with scoop, so apologies ahead of time if this feature request happens to already exist or has been previously discussed. What I would like is the ability to change one's votes/ratings.
