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

I am trying to convert my site from a home-brewed ksh-based content management system to scoop.
Unfortunately, I'm having rather a rough time of it.

Customizing the Story_summary Block
|

The story_summary block provides an important "first impression" for visitors and new users to a given scoop site. Its role in constructing the front page, via summarizing all of the current FP stories individually, is clearly critical for introducing and maintaining the look and feel of any given site.
To that end, a relatively proficient scoop hacker
has given
this site
a very different and unique "look and feel", apparantly via recoding certain effects produced within the story_summary block. Now, I don't know whether he's done it via direct changes to lib/Scoop/Stories/Views.pm and friends, or via a box of some sort - but it seems clear that several features which are embedded in the code have been altered, somehow.
As it turns out, I too would like to modify the look and feel of story_summary. Inside, I describe my needs, and provide some box code which seems to work ok for the task, for your evaluation and criticism.

Bringing On-line Collaboration to Animation

As a non-programmer, I've long admired what the open source movement has achieved. Why haven't people in other disciplines caught on to this method and spirit? Well, I'm about to try to do just that in my own field of animation.
What I propose to do is start a non-commercial site called Toonex.org. We would make animated films in much the same way that Linux and Scoop were made -- by sharing files and advise, by thinking through problems together, by offering each other critiques when it's needed and praise when it's deserved -- all through the magic of the web.

Sucess with sendmail on Windows XP

The common problem of Scoop on Windows is account setup and emailing. Well I think no more! I have been able to send set up three accounts so far without having to restart Apache. Not entirely convincing yet (I am still evaluating scoop 0.9), but 300% better than the common result I have been reading and experiencing...one account and then scoop throws a hissy fit.

Hello everyone,
In some documentation, I read that you can go to a page if you want to get some of the boxes or blocks that you like on the kuro5hin site. However, I can't seem to find where I saw this and it's driving me nuts.
Someone help.
thanks
