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

Intro To Scoop Development
By hurstdog , Section Help! [] Posted on Wed Aug 22, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Every so often I get an email or talk to someone who says they want to help out with scoop but don't know where to start. Or that they know a little bit of perl, but not enough to help out with something like Scoop. This article aims to cover the basics necessary for you to know to help out with Scoop. It won't cover everything about Scoop, nor will it cover many details, but it will cover *just* enough to get you hacking. (650 comments, 2097 words in story) Full Story >>

Newbie Wants To Run Scoop!
By twilken , Section Help! [] Posted on Thu Jun 07, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
I am in the process of moving my website. I would like to find a webhost that supports scoop. I know nothing about Linux or Scoop except as a new member of kuro5hin.org. But from what I have seen at K5, it appears to be a powerful and useful program. I understand it can be completely configured from a web browser. Are there any web hosts that provide scoop support? I have some experience with weblogs. I currently run a Manila site which is a Userland product. But scoop seems to do a number of things better. Thank you...

We need docs!
By hurstdog , Section Help! [] Posted on Wed Jun 06, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Well, as anyone that runs scoop knows, the documentation is not up to par. In fact, I think we just have a few vars documented as of right now. Thats pretty sickly. So what we would like, is for people to contribute documentation. We don't need anyone to take it over completely, we'll manage all of it here, but to just contribute. So below is a list the different features we need documented, and all we're asking, is that you contribute to one section. That way its not so overwhelming as to agree to do it all. Even if you want to contribute to part of a section, it will help. Of course, you don't have to contribute, but every little bit helps. Update [2001-6-29 21:11:29 by panner]: I've taken over the docs project, and started on a new Scoop Administrator Guide. I'm using LyX to write it in, and latex2html with some custom scrips wrapped around it to convert. So far, it's looking good, but I'm just getting started. I plan to write as much as possible, but if anyone wants to write part of it, I'd certainly appreciate it. If you do write part of it, just mail it to me (panner[at]qx[dot]net) and I'll add it in. You can see what I've got so far here. I'll try to remember to update this as much as possible (probably write another script :). (17 comments, 845 words in story) Full Story >>

How does the recent_news_box work? I can't find a reference for recent_news_box in vars,blocks or boxes. I checked the mailing list, but no go. Anyone have the code for it? (144 comments) Comment >>

problems posting
By dmoon , Section Help! [] Posted on Tue Mar 13, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Hope this isn't too stupid a question. we have a new scoop site up and running, but we are unable to post certain stories from the storylist. Does it have to do with the length of the stories? The only reason why we think it might be length is because shorter stories with the same topic and section selections CAN be posted. It's be really great if you could make some suggestions. Could it be that our server is not adequate or something like that? Thanks a lot - otherwise scoop is running just fine!!! dave. (1 comment) Comment >>
