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

After many long months/days/years/eons of the scoop searching engine lacking, hillct has jumped to the rescue. By alerting us to MySQL's ability to do Fulltext Searches and then coding up a patch for it, we now have really cool searching in scoop. All with just a small bit of additions and a lot of sql work by hillct.

It would be useful to have listed, in comment summaries returned by the searches, whether or not I have specifically rated that comment or not (and perhaps what the rating is). This would be particularly useful while reviewing hidden comments, to avoid repeatedly opening the same comment only to find I have already rated it.

In an effort to separate the task of the perl programmer and that
of other site authors such as graphic editors and UI specialists -- i.e. extract
the layout from the logic -- here's a box (i'm calling it dbquery) which allows
db queries to be put in xml-style markup.

Working towards extracting the english language from scoop, i've started implementing an abstracted labelling system. The interface labelling if functional, but i want to see if anyone has concerns or suggestions -- in the approach as well as the details.

Postgres Scoop

I have the beginnings of a Postgres-based Scoop running at http://www.toddbrandlabs.com:8080/scoop
Obviously, it will be jumping up and down like a yo-yo over the next few days I need to make it solid, but I'm rather close. It's a fork off the 0.8 tarball so it's at least reasonably current.

File Uploads Through Scoop

Is there a way to accept file uploads through the CGI interface in Scoop? I can get it to work through an external script that is called from a Box on a page, plugging the user's nickname into the form, but I would like to put the upload code into a Box on the page and then just parse the CGI input, so I can use the Scoop user database to make sure the uploader is who they really are.
