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 think that the email digest is great, especially for your not-so connected dialup users.
In this article I pressent an idea for improving the way email users can access a scoop site.

Editing Articles Resets Polls

Apparently, editing a story on k5's current build resets the poll votes -- when the article is "updated", current vote totals are reset to 0 and the previous results are discarded (though it's not clear whether previous voters are permitted to vote again). This applies equally to submissions in the queue and to diaries.

My installation of scoop is already a couple of days old but still the painful memory lingers. Perhaps the only way to purge myself of these emotions is to write them down for others to see. But where do I post them? They are not bugs. They are not new code. They are not even feature requests. Hopefully though, they can make the journey a little less painful for those still to come.

As a Scoop user, I'd like there to be a Hall of Fame page
for articles,
like the Slashdot has.

Supermojo and Ratings Visibility

Scoop fails to display ratings on a superuser's own hidden (rating<1) comment when that superuser's mojo is in the nontrusted range but who has supermojo. Namely, scoop fails to check correctly for supermojo status when determining whether to make the ratings visible. This only affects a small number of users, but it should get fixed.
Update [2001-2-15 17:52:42 by rusty]: cp found me on irc and we fixed this, but let's post this submission for posterity.

Mock Updates

Scoop shouldn't allow mock updates.
Update [2001-2-15 18:48:13 by Inoshiro]: I agree, but Canada's failed education system has left illiterate and thus unable to read the source, much less write any changes myself.

Just a quick idea for making it possible for users to add their own "Related Links" to a Scoop story, as opposed to having to post them as a comment.
