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

WAROW: Wars and Rumors of War - a little scoop site of my own on the 'net, following war (and rumors of war) news around the world on a semi-regular basis. No community to speak of yet. A month or so in operation.

Cherrypitter.com is a bipartisan political community powered by Scoop. We provide the best cherry pits to fuel your political discussion. A cherry pit is a political tidbit left behind by an unexpected source. It is a fact, opinion, or statement that belies someone's supposed political bias.
Typically, politicians, pundits, journalists, and bloggers stick to the party line and provide the best "cherries" that support their cause. A cherry pit is a tough nut they have to deal with; it is point they are forced to concede or a fact they can't deny. We collect the best ones here and open them up for discussion.

While looking at the list of Scoop sites, I just realized that Sci-Fi Today is still listed. The name of this site was changed long ago to SciScoop (as was its URL) to reflect the fact that the vast majority of the stories are about the latest revelations in science, but we apparently forgot to mention it here. SciScoop is developing into quite a good community now, boasting over 1000 members. If you like to read about and/or discuss science, this is the place to be.

We launched a scoop site skalmadi.org on April 10, 2004. It is a companion site to skalmadi.com and is for a Member of Parliament of the India's Upper House - the Rajya Sabha. The M.P., Suresh Kalmadi, is also active in sports, culture, tourism, and development thus making it a perfect platform for him to interact with the citizens.

The biggest Scoop site of them all

I'm surprised the site list doesn't include dailykos.com, a Democratic-oriented political news site. Dailykos switched from Moveable Type to Scoop a few months ago and has exploded in size since then. Its posting volume surpasses K5 by a large factor and is edging towards Slashdot levels in the amount of content that gets put up every day. It's almost certainly the biggest Scoop site around now, claiming 2.5 million unique visits per month. I don't have anything to do with running it, but have been reading it regularly. It's quite a success story for Scoop.

A bunch of friends have put together a new scoop site, http://www.ninjastu.com. We haven't made many changes to the interface, and we can't guarantee our political rants are anywhere near as intelligent as anything else you'll find, but we can guarantee that we're all up for a good argument/flame war, and at the very least we'll entertain.
