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: The need for usablity

I have watched as countless scoop sites get created and watched as their owners sink inordinate amounts of time into their community hoping for it to blossom, only to watch it fail. I don't think the majority of these sites fail due to the owners negligence, but simply that scoop is not suited to a general audience which these people are attempting to target. I firmly believe that we can make scoop easy for a general audience to use.

In preparation for the upcoming Scoop 1.0, I have agreed to handle managing the release. After this point, no new features will be accepted for inclusion into Scoop until 1.0 is released. Bug fixes are welcome, as always.

For a while now, I've been dissatisfied with the way Groups work in Scoop.
It's OK for simple applications. Once you start getting into slightly more complicated things though, it starts getting silly.

Memoirs of a Newbie Scoop Hacker

First of all, I should introduce myself since it's my first time posting here. My name is Wes Morgan, and I am the webmaster of Libretech.org, a scoop-based site. Once I got scoop set up on my site, there were things I noticed right away that I would like to alter/improve about it. So, I got on the #scoop IRC channel and began discussing these things with some of the developers there. The following is a brief summary of my work and our discussions so far, and I believe it will give us a good idea of where scoop development needs to go from here.

No, I don't need you to write any :-)
Would everybody - and especially people new to Scoop, or who have had trouble installing Scoop - please read it over and let me know if I've forgotten anything, skimped on an explanation, or not explained something that you find confusing.
What I have so far is here.

State of Scoop survey

Scoop development has been very quiet lately. I don't know whether no
one is working on anything, or whether there are things going on that
aren't being talked about much, or who even still considers themself an
active Scoop developer.
So in an effort to figure out what the state of Scoop development is
right now, I'm cross-posting this to the two scoop lists and scoop.k5.
If you're working on anything related to Scoop, or not currently working
on anything but interested in helping, please respond! I will post the
results to these same places, and hopefully we can restart development
work.

After over a year of waiting, the Scoop 0.9 has been released. Look under the
"Where can I get Scoop?" box for fresh tarballs. Also, it's available from CVS
under the tag scoop-0_9-stable. A list of major new features and bug fixes is
attached, along with a few known problems with this release. Many thanks to all
that helped with this release; a list of Scoop contributors is in the CREDITS
file included with Scoop.
A lot has been changed and improved since Scoop 0.8, and it's recommended
that anyone running older versions upgrade. Full instructions are available in
the file README.upgrade.
