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

Scoop Box Exchange - Where Art Thou?

The scoop box exchange seems to have moved from http://www.perlmonkey.net/sbe/ This link leads to a broken url panner.orgsbe - and even if you try panner.org/sbe it leads to nowhere.
Could someone tell us where the box code is currently residing, and could the links in the Admin Guide etc. be update to reflect the new repository for the box code?
[editor's note, by hillct] The SBE URL was clarified in a comment, but it's good to put it here as well. Scoop box Exchange is located at http://scoop.kuro5hin.org/sbe

SVG.org, the first community-powered website for the W3C SVG technology, has just been greatly overhauled and relaunched. What started out as a confidential affair with a Movable Type install and just a few hand-registered users, is now a completely automated powerhouse thanks to Scoop.

Hi all...
Dropping a few bytes here to tell you that I have successfully deployed a scoop site in the name of PACS and the relentless struggle of the medical imaging world going digital. We are a group of PACS type people (paxy, for the lack of an adjective) who appreciate the scoop engine and will use it daily to express ourselves with our new ClubPACSWestMI user group!
Its running with the power of FreeBSD 4.9 and some really crappy SATA drives.

Desktop blog software for Scoop?

Is there a standalone piece of desktop software that can be used to post stories on Scoop sites?
Back when I used Moveable Type I used Zempt. Lots of people like Ecto.
Is there anything that works with Scoop?
