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 have launched a scoop site (www.rantapalooza.com) with the goal of giving the criminally insane the voice they deserve on the internet as well as putting forth a solid effort to stop the hamburglar. It's more of a random submission of amusing rants and other items, but the scoop engine has been absolutely optimal for the goals I had when forming this site.
Most rants are about mullets, white trash, and the crap hollywood seems to be churning out without failure with no real boundries.
The site address is www.rantapalooza.com

Just a quick announcement. I have just built "YASS" at www.sonicmatrix.org. Sonicmatrix is a site dedicated to community discussion of computer hardware, software, networks and security, plus the occasional special interest topic.
Our tagline is "breaking the technology sound barrier" which is really what we're all about ... Pushing technology and its applications forward, dispelling myth and flawed analyses of technology, and generally increasing the signal to noise ratio for technology discussion relative to other sites in this space ;-)
We're also striving for more of a community feel. Visitors, comments and feedback all welcome.

I recently brought up a site at adequacy.org that's using scoop. But we're using Scoop a bit differently than it's intended...

After several failed attempts with slash on my own box, and a semi-successful attempt using slashhosting.com I have finally seen the light. As a result www.MovieCosmos.com has made the switch to Scoop and will hopefully never look back.
MovieCosmos is meant to be a central clearinghouse for movie releated news, links, and info.

Well, after playing around forever and a day with the idea and several attempts with other software www.SharedWriting.com is finally alive and kickin'.
As the name would suggest it is a place for sharing your writings. In this case, specifically, fiction stories. I'm still building the FAQ, but I posted a couple of stories which should give people the general idea.

Satanosphere.com, likely the world's newest Scoop site, is up and running. It is intended to be a discussion site for all of the neat stuff, news, rants, and other trivia that is out there in the world.

Well, more or less. There are a few rough edges, but you're more than welcome to come to http://www.newsfilter.co.uk/ and talk about news, generally, from a UK perspective. The UK is due for a general election soon, so it should be an interesting time...
