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

RFE: www.kuro5hin status box on the scoop site

www.kuro5hin.org is 504 at the moment. Could someone please put up a w3.k5 status box up on the scoop site so we can see some admin messages, like
- [green] "Running like a smooth oiled machine."
- [yellow] "Many users are getting timeouts atm, just try again later...", or
- [red] "www.kuro5hin.org is down, go feed your habit at Anarchy online..."
Something like the S@h server status page.

I assert that Scoop should offer file uploading via http. Any previous implementations or ideas?

It seems that every popular site eventually gives rise to the desire to get site usage stats. Due to Scoop's particular design, we should consider having powerful built-in stats reporting.

Story preview time minimum

It'd be nice if Scoop forced people to at least GLANCE at their story before hitting "submit." Perhaps enforce a 0.1 second per word minimum after the initial preview before a submit is accepted?

Valid HTML?

I'm just wondering, before bringing it to the -dev list, how many people would be interested in a version of Scoop that was really anal about being valid HTML. I may be the only freak out there that would be interested, but I thought I'd ask...

Just looking through the SAG, I noticed mention of comments accidently disappearing because of a mis-click by an admin. What if an admin user could turn on/off all admin functions with a click?

Makeshift Counters for Stories

Now that scoop tracks registered users and which stories they've accessed recently with the viewed_stories table, then it would take very little effort to use that data as a sort of counter for how many views stories have gotten. This would only count how many registered users have visited a story, but it's better than nothing, and maybe could be visible only to the author and admins as just to squelch a simple curiousity.

Inconsistant URL handling

Scoop does not seem to handle URL's correctly. This is a minor, UI point, but it sometimes confuses the hell out of me.
Disclaimer: I've never so much coded in perl, let alone hacked on scoop.
