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

Experimental Scoop Packages for Debian
|

I have recently concocted some Scoop packages for Debian GNU/Linux that are in need of testing and feedback from anyone brave enough to try them. They are highly experimental, and as such, may spawn an unholy demon inside your computer case or make fireworks shoot out of your cat's butt. You have been warned.

yet another themes idea

So despite all the other ideas that have come through here over time about themes that have never been implemented, I'm posting another one.
The difference is that I'm submitting this for feedback before I start working on it, rather than putting it up as a wishlist item. I have a second instance of apache running on my new computer on port 8080 (currently behind a firewall; I'll let you know when it takes over public server duties from my old computer) with a separate scoop codebase so I'm guaranteed not to break my YASS, which is running on the same computer.

Multi-sub-domain sites

I wanted to amend Scoop so that I could use multiple sub-domains for my site and then change the behaviour of the site depending on what sub-domain you came in.
My site is called Scottish Political Discussion at domain name scottish.politicaldiscussion.org
I wanted to host multiple sites like American Political Discussion at domain name american.politicaldiscussion.org with the images etc changing depending on which sub-domain you came in on.

Annoucing Dialognow.org
|

DialogNow.org is a forum to promote dialog between the two peoples of India and Pakistan. In spite of being neighbours, there is little or not communication between people of the two countries, and consequently a lot of misunderstanding about the viewpoints of the other side.
There are a few Yahoo message boards where people animatedly discuss such issues, but it always degenerates into a shouting match. The hope is that a Scoop type moderation system can keep the dialog civil and meaningful.

Scoop as Helpdesk Management System

I just had a cool idea, that I thought I'd run by y'all (perhaps there should be a topic for "creative uses of Scoop"). I think that with a little imagination, Scoop would make a pretty decent help desk management system.

Guidetracker.com My New Scoop Site

I've created a modest Scoop site called Guidetracker.com. It's dedicated to discussions on the game of fishing.
I haven't deviated much from the stock install of Scoop as the basic design suited my needs just fine. Kudos to kuro5hin for a fine open source offering!

RFC: Scoop Archiving

Here's my Request for Comment for archiving of older stories in Scoop. Please feel free to comment with suggestions, both for features you'd like to see implemented and ones you think should be removed from the plan. I haven't started coding yet, so this document is very flexible.
