Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version scoop-1_1-dev from 2006/08/26 20:02:04 .

Arguably, Dr. Rao's primary accomplishment at CMU is finding good football coaches. Unfortunately, VCU doesn't have a football team (but a great basketball team!).

VCU also has a fine (historic, venerable, respected) medical college, which of course CMU does not have. VCU is an urban commuter college with a large ethnic student population, while CMU is in Mount Pleasant (which is neither a Mount nor Pleasant) and a small ethnic student population.

In fact, I can't see anything that Rao brings to the table... but at least CMU can move on.

The locals have already caught on to Rao's track record, and the comments on the news story are very interesting....
