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. More >>

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

Posted on Sun Oct 31, 2010 at 01:31:17 PM PST
hi,

I would like a scoop developer, but it's not clear where to post for one?

also, the fact that the latest news (section) is from 2006 is disconcerting. is scoop "over"?

thanks.

Spammers Feature Requests
By Cretal , Section Code []
Posted on Thu Sep 21, 2006 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Looking over this site, its apparant that you're having the same spam woes that I'm having on my scoop site (chinese spammers creating accounts and posting advertisements everywhere). I would request a couple of tools to help combat this problem (delete all posts by a username, blocking by IP, and preventing more than 3 links per post. *heck, why not stop all links?*) Are there other ideas to help stop this? As it is now, I can't hardly keep up with the pace of crap posted on my scoop site.

I have a scoop site dedicated to cycling, and one thing that is useful is to share points of interest and bicycle routes. Here is a description of my attempt to integrate Google maps into my scoop site.

Scoop on Mac OS X.4 (Tiger) Docs
By janra , Section Code []
Posted on Sat Dec 17, 2005 at 12:00:00 PM PST
I spent the last few days picking away at installing Scoop on my iBook, and making notes about the process, since the last OS X notes were for Panther.

The good news is, it's gotten easier to install Scoop on OS X!

Remember, the notes below are not a complete install guide, they only describe what is different from a standard install. You should still read the complete install guide. (These notes will be making it into the system-specific notes in that document on its next update.)

ScoopHost.com invites you to help test shared accounts New Code
By hillct , Section Code []
Posted on Wed Jun 22, 2005 at 12:00:00 PM PST
Update [2005-6-25 12:16:1 by hillct]: Thanks to everyone who tested this feature. The testing was a complete success and has resulted in the Shared Database Feature Patch. Going forward, dev.scoophost.com may be unavailable at any given time but may also some cool new features under development, so I invite the curious to keep an eye on it.

ScoopHost.com invites you to test shared accounts whereby accounts on one scoop site can be shared with another scoop site. There are currently some limits to this sharing, but when you create an account on one of the test sites and activate it as normal using the URL found in the activation email, you should then be able to use those credentials to authenticate to the other test site without first creating an account there.

The two test sites are:

http://dev.scoophost.com

And

http://dev2.scoophost.com

Please test this out and let us know if you run into problems with it.

Thanks,
The ScoopHost.com Development Team

Scoop Box Exchange - Where Art Thou? Boxes
By leoaugust , Section Code []
Posted on Wed Nov 17, 2004 at 12:00:00 PM PST
The scoop box exchange seems to have moved from http://www.perlmonkey.net/sbe/ This link leads to a broken url panner.orgsbe - and even if you try panner.org/sbe it leads to nowhere.

Could someone tell us where the box code is currently residing, and could the links in the Admin Guide etc. be update to reflect the new repository for the box code?

[editor's note, by hillct] The SBE URL was clarified in a comment, but it's good to put it here as well. Scoop box Exchange is located at http://scoop.kuro5hin.org/sbe
