1.1 What is Scoop?

Scoop is a web-based program to power a weblog. A weblog is, to give a loose definition, a site, or part of a site, that regularly posts news, articles, journals, or other types of information. Scoop does this, and much more. Scoop is designed to create a community site, where users can create accounts and post stories and comments, which other users may vote on. Of course, Scoop is capable of running different types of sites, where perhaps users don't play such a large role. Much of the way Scoop works can be customized to suit the needs of the site's admins.
