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

Looking for Scoop Consultant

We have Scoop installed but are looking for help in setting it up for a reality show fan site.
Must have a flair for intuitive and appropriate user interfaces for large communities. Interest in the Survivor-type shows a plus but not required, as we also need a daily moderator.
contact: info.at.pwregistry.pw

Movable Type/TypePad and Scoop Consultant Needed
MensNewsDaily.com (MND) is a tabloid-style news and commentary website that receives over 1 million page views per month. The site contains over 8000 unique HTML pages, and is managed using DreamWeaver and server-side includes.
MND is looking for a skilled web developer familiar with Movable Type / Typepad blog software, and with the collaborative media software application SCOOP.
The project will be divided in two phases.
PHASE I: Implement a MoveableType/Typepad solution for the daily management of the MND homepage and exisiting content pages. This would entail the customization of the content management software to:
- Reflect the tabloid style look-and-feel of MND
- Enable rapid manual updates of news stories and commentaries, and
- Provide a means for automatically archiving older news links and commentaries.
MND's existing 8000 pages of content would need to be effectively ported into the content management system while preserving the ability of search engines to index, identify and link to these pages. Search engine compatibility must be maintained for both legacy content and for the new content added daily to the website.
Naturally the new version of MND will provide enhanced features such as:
- Registered User Comments
- Number of Times Article is Viewed
- Ability to Email/Print Article
- Trackback
- Additional Features
PHASE II: Implement a Scoop-based collaborative media environment to encourage the participation of MND's community of writers, readers, and forum denizens. Registered users to the Scoop wing of MND should be able to customize their own personal blog diaries, and essentially to create a customizable personal home page.
If you are interested in helping us with this project, please send us an email indicating your qualifications and experience.

At what point is a YASS inappropriate?

I have set up a web server on my machine, and installed scoop on it. Mostly this is to archive funny slashdot troll posts and personal thoughts I don't want to entrust to husi.
Given the highly wanky nature of the site, a YAS would or would not be appropriate?
What are you lots' thoughts?

Building a Wiki on Scoop
|

I've been growing frustrated with ZWiki lately which has inspired me to try to try and build a wiki on top of Scoop (hence the reason for surreptitiously filing this bug in the hopes of using the same code for wiki revisioning, but ssh! Don't tell anyone.)
I think with autoformatting and the ability to store old versions of stories/pages/whatever most of the pieces needed to build a wiki are in place. So I'm just going to outline my plan to a) make sure it hasn't been done by someone else b) get feedback and make sure I'm not missing something blatantly obvious and c) let people know that I'm working on it.
