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

Revision history for submissions in the story que
By cbatt , Section Wishlist [] Posted on Fri Jan 05, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
I think it would be of great benefit to Scoop to allow story submitters to be able to edit their stories after submission. Unfortunately, this raises the issue of sumitters changing their story at the last second into something that the users did not vote on. (7 comments, 176 words in story) Full Story >>

Advanced interface option
By mrBlond , Section Wishlist [] Posted on Fri Jan 05, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Going beyond "Read Message" management, is a more Usenet reader interface option possible for scoop sites? With collapsable, watched and ignored threads; killfiles; auto interest filters based on voting histories... > OK, failing that, how about an option that formats the > previous post like newsreaders for the "Display: flat" > readers? Liquid rendering problems be here! > -- Foo     How about: indented; DejaNews coloured posts; or a new X- header     that allows scoop moderation thru Usenet clients?

The feature is as follows: the submitter of a story can delete his own post, if the rating of the story goes negative at all. (7 comments, 113 words in story) Full Story >>

Permanent Discussion Boards
By Eloquence , Section Wishlist [] Posted on Wed Dec 20, 2000 at 12:00:00 PM PST
In addition to sections and topics, I would like to see something else implemented in Scoop, discussion boards. These would differ from stories in several ways: No story, but a description of the board instead Automatic comment paging, with 100 threads per page Defaults: nested, sort by date - independently set from story defaults (8 comments, 168 words in story) Full Story >>

Enhancements to Review Hidden Comments page
By Friendless , Section Wishlist [] Posted on Mon Dec 18, 2000 at 12:00:00 PM PST
I've just become a Trusted User (on k5), and earnt the right to Review Hidden Comments. I suspect I have got to the part of Kuro5hin which is relatively unexplored and unused. I think it could do with some modifications. This article contains my suggestions for making the Review Hidden Comments interface easier to use and hence more popular. Hopefully the consensus obtained from this item will be taken into account by the Powers That Be. (5 comments, 426 words in story) Full Story >>

The Next Big Thing After Diaries: Reviews
By Eloquence , Section Wishlist [] Posted on Fri Dec 15, 2000 at 12:00:00 PM PST
I have raved and ranted a lot about the importance of ratings in the past. While Scoop already does a good job at implementing ratings in story & comment moderation (in spite of its shortcomings), there's ground it does not cover yet: reviews. I have talked about distributed databases for such purposes, but given that nobody will code a sophisticated one in the near future, implementing reviews in Scoop would already be a great step forward.

Vote for topic/section as well when voting for stories.
By Defect , Section Wishlist [] Posted on Fri Dec 15, 2000 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Wading through the submission queue on K5 and the related comments i came across a story (Boarding Schools (at 56 now, it may be out of the queue when you see this)) that seemed to be in the wrong section and topic. I'm suggesting that when submitting stories, the user can choose the topics that he/she personally thinks the story should be in, but during the moderation process, when users vote +1/0/-1 they also vote what section/topic the story should go up into.

Need for a new release to code from it...
By jy , Section Wishlist [] Posted on Thu Dec 14, 2000 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Hi, It would be cool to have a new (beta!) release, so that we could develop from that version. At the moment it seems that there are a lot of patches anywhere (perl files or sql files). Thanks ! JY (5 comments) Comment >>
