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

Scoop Blocks need to be more open.
So here is my proposal. Let users view blocks, just make a standard op that displays all the blocks and/or boxes on a site.
In this way we can see how people did that neat stuff they did.

Admin Stats?

Are there any plans for an Admin tool to obtain certain site statistics? Like a listing of users, sorted by name or rating. Or the number of active users within a specified time period. That sort of thing.

Why are hotlists not public?

The Hotlist seems like a perfect candidate to be added to the User Information page ("View [username]'s Hotlist"). I've wanted to link people to my Hotlist many times and I can't help but think that many others have felt the same way.

Proposal to propose implementing "dump it" voting for edit queue

It has come to light that scoop's edit queue is severely lacking in one key area: writing a proposal to ask Rusty to implement a "dump it" voting mechanism for the edit queue.

I'm configuring (locally) a Scoop site that is not going to use english for the web interface (Spanish) but I'm finding that I can't translate all strings without touching the code under /lib, mainly the user preferences and the comments toolbar.

This a repost of a story from the main K5 site concerning two features which I think are very important to integral conversations and quality discussion. At the suggestion of two people, I'm posting it here.

Show queue size in RDF

Simple enough: it'd be nice if the RDF had an entry for the queue, with something like "10 stories pending" with a link to modsub. That'd be nice for the low-traffic sites like InTune.
On a related note, a story comment would be nice, even if it's out-of-date.

Edit Queue Suggestion
|

It would be nice if users could have their edit queue privileges revoked through a simple vote. This could be achieved by allowing stories to be voted out of the edit queue. If a particular user has had X% of their stories voted out of the edit queue, then they can no longer utilize it until they get a story posted.
If anyone wants to implement this idea, go ahead, because I'm not anytime soon.
