By the way, I ran into a problem with mysql that was not associated with scoop, but the problem came up when I upgraded some of the packages for the scoop install. I am running a freebsd system and installed the mysql client and server packages through the ports collection. Prior to this everything had been fine and working with no problems. At some point either DBI or DBD::mysql broke on me, and scoop could not connect to the database. I ended up having to change the passwords associated with the scoop databse to mysql's old style hashing algorithm. The information I used to diagnose and fix the problem can be found at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Old_client.html.
Finally, I am really happy with scoop. I have tried slash and geeklog. Scoop is much easier and more intuitive to use than slash, and I have been able to get started and make customizations with scoop that would have taken much longer with slash. So far it seems to be a more robust and more complete package than geeklog. Scoop is also easier to customize than geeklog. The only things that geeklog has that I miss in scoop is the calendar facility and an easy was to include pictures with stories.
All in all I am very happy with scoop. Keep up the great work y'all!
