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

This topic came up a week ago. I am getting ready to implement this as part of a promotion for my site. The idea is that we come up with a fair and accurate measure of total system activity on a per user basis....in my case, the top 10 most active users (in regards to posting stories, comments, and moderating) get prizes.

The toughest part of getting scoop to work for me was getting php and mod_perl to behave with each other in apache. Here is the story of how I learned to build apache with php4 and mod_perl in order to run scoop.

Question about dead submissions
|

I've got a couple short questions about rejected submissions, which I'm sure is a dead subject, but I can't find it on a search.
. I know that publicly viewable rejected articles could turn the submissions queue into a troll queue. If I were to implement a solution, is that the only foreseeable problem, or are there other things to design around?
. If a solution were to fit criteria and have no apparent flaws, would it likely be put into CVS after some small mulling-over period? Would an article/diary entry on K5 to get ideas help matters?
Again, these are just questions I've never had answered, and I won't necessarily contribute a patch or nudge anyone to implement this. Thanks to anyone who answers these.

Scoop Tuning

My small webserver (AMD K6-2 300, 500MB RAM) supports my simple, 1K hits/day website. Upon running apache's benchmark tool, I notice that it can barely dish out 1 request per second. While this is currently fine for my site, I would still like to know what can be done to speed up mod_perl, and in particular that way scoop would be set up using vhosts.

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

Modifying scoop to just do voting

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.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or I've just done something wrong, but the three scoop installs I have on my computer sometimes 'share' the information in their databases, leading to some very interesting effects.

ModPerl Hosting (again)

Hello boys, hello girls,
This has already been discussed, but i'll add one more story about this :
ModPerl Hosting
- Scoophosting is a very good solution I presume if you don't want to run your custom version of Scoop.
- But if you want to run your own custom code, where can we host modperl powered sites without selling one's house to pay the monthly fee ? (i don't even have a house)
- Where is kuro5hin.org hosted and how much does it cost ?
