+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.
+
+A scoop site can be run almost entirely by the readers. The whole life-cycle of
+content is reader-driven. They submit news, they choose what to post, and they
+can discuss what they post. Readers can rate other readers comments, as well,
+providing a collaborative filtering tool to let the best contributions float to
+the top. Based on this rating, you can also reward consistently good
+contributors with greater power to review potentially untrusted content. The
+real power of Scoop is that it is almost totally collaborative.
