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

Now that K5 has a spell checker, there needs to be some method for user to suggest new words to be added to the dictionary.

Hi,
I would like to see a "delete account" feature, I think others might like this feature as well.
I just started looking through the scoop code from cvs. I would like to help/implement this feature if it is something that scoop wants.

I use the viewed_stories feature alot on scoop sites. I have run across a couple things that I didn't like about it, but couldn't come up with a way to fix it. So I am not going to mention the others (most, oops :).
There are situations in which a person has to modify their browsing behavior or lose track of some comments. I think there are workarounds for those situations.

Mojo is a fine tool for discouraging and defending against trolls and the like. But what if the community wants to simultaneously defend against a bad comment (hide it from view) but at the same time encourage the writer to stick around and keep trying?

An alternative to the edit queue?

I just had a look at the queue on Kuro5hin, and some other loser has again submitted a hopeless story into edit. Which led me to remember some thoughts I've had on edit queues.

I want to be able to edit my stories in a file and then simply browse to and upload that.
Er, that's it.
