What Now? Feature Requests
By panner , Section Project []
Posted on Fri Sep 07, 2001 at 12:00:00 PM PST

A month ago, Scoop 0.8 was released, with all kinds of improvments over Scoop 0.6. Since then, not much has happened in development. But hopefully that will change before long, as developers find time to code new things, and maybe even some patches will come in :) So now is the time to speak up. What features do you want to see in the next release (Scoop 1.0, most likely)? How do you want those features to work? What do you think needs improvement? Post below any ideas you have, and want to see in Scoop.

There's already a start over at Sourceforge, under the 1.0 requirments task, and there's a place on Sourceforge to submit feature requests, so feel free to use that whenever you get an idea.

Some ideas that have been discussed recently:

  • Admin actions logging (maybe even more logging)
  • User-selectable boxes
  • XML-RPC (maybe SOAP?) API
  • Postgres/other db support
  • Extended RSS support (export anything as an RSS feed)
  • Support for themes (CSS, maybe other types)
  • Integration of boxtool and Scoop Box Exchange

Note that some of these have been started on, but any implementation ideas are welcome.

These ideas will probably find their way into a poll at some point, so we can see which projects to give priority too (not that we've respected priorities in the past :)

here's my request... (none / 0) (#1)
by janra on Sat Sep 08, 2001 at 07:41:56 PM PST

Make logins work without playing cookie games on more than one domain, but using the same database (so k5 can run on kuro5hin.indy and kuro5hin.org, opennic can run on opennic.glue and opennic.unrated.net and I can run "Write On" on paradox.null and paradox.homeip.net)

Ability to upload pics or files. Also, auto <P& (none / 0) (#2)

I know it's been shown how to do it using Apache:something or rather... I'm not smart enough to impliment it though. It really opens up additional uses for this program, allowing people to upload artwork, I have friends developing music they'd like to share, etc...

I also noticed that some sites automatically put in a Paragraph break when you type text into a box and hit return, that would be cool, for the people that know NOTHING about HTML.

Thanks.

Great for spreading the word.



THEMES!!!!!!!!!!1 (none / 0) (#4)
by delmoi on Sun Sep 09, 2001 at 01:36:31 PM PST

Put themes in. Let uses choose from diffrent themes (basicaly, differing sets of blocks. A block from a theme could overwrite a default one, if it exists in the selected theme)

Also, make the default theme presented to users selectable by browsers! So we can have a page for NS4 users, IE users, Moz users, etc so that we don't have to compromize and end up with hacked/ugly pages!!!



New Replies box/E-mail new replies (none / 0) (#13)
by Prominairy on Tue Sep 18, 2001 at 06:07:17 AM PST

    One thing I'd like to see added to Scoop is the ability for users to more easily see new replies to their stories and/or comments. There's an earlier feature request story, which I thought presented a decent idea, about this, as well as a similar request submitted via SourceForge.
