We chose Scoop after many months of comparison with all the other packages, and we feel we made the best choice. We're hoping that the code itself is secure, we're very concerned about cross-site scripting attacks, and embedded java.
I'm sure we're in good hands.
I want to say thank you to the scoop development team for such a tremendous piece of work.
Although I doubt if the development team actually reads any of these announcements, I'd like to also vote for a feature, namely an ability for registered members to upload attachments. I'm very interested in this feature as we hope to have people posting code, and exploits that are security related.
I realize that this is anethma but I think I'm going to hack it in soon, although I doubt that I will insert the attachments into the database. I just have to come up with some secure code that will permit companion attachments to each article, and track the urls within the main scoop database with the news story.
C'est Elite Scoop.

ps.. I also think an ad server is cool, but I have some experience with commercial ad servers, and C is the only language the actual ad serving technology should be written in. You need something that can withstand real traffic, and not hammer your scoop db into the dust. I've seen what a DOS attack can do to mysql-enabled cgi..
