Welcome to WoWRaidManager.Net

This WIKI provides a compilation of all current information about WoW Raid Manager (Previously phpRaid). Please browse the sections below for documentation and information on WoW Raid Manager.

If you are curious about the history of the product, please read the FAQ as it provides information and attempts to explain some of the confusion surrounding WoW Raid Manager.

The Sections can be found over to the left in the "documentation" breakout, but they can be accessed here as well.

[edit] Categories

The informational categories are linked below and over on the left menu under "documentation". This should take you to all the valuable information documented for WRM. If you find something missing: Log in with your wowraidmanager.net board ID and add to or correct what you see as wrong!

[edit] Forward

Open Source software is one of the greatest ideas of the 21st centuary. The concept that you can turn open a piece of software to the world at large and have a community to support it has produced amazing things. Apache, Sendmail, BIND, the list goes on and on. This project is no different. Although much smaller in scope, the open source concept has produced another great piece of software in WoW Raid Manager (WRM).

Unfortunately there is a downside to open source, when a project changes hands it also often changes direction, particularly in the case where the project changes hands through a loss of focus, as it has here. In this case, the original developer went a different direction and is maintaining a new piece of software...one a bit more generic than WRM.

While I, as the new maintainer, endeavor to keep the basics of this software as close to the original idea behind WRM, I also see a need to advance the software with some new ideas and concepts of my own. Hopefully in the end this application will be just as, if not more, useful than it has been to you in the past.

As always, I, like most other open source maintainers, appreciate the constructive feedback of the community at large. Open source is only as good as the community that supports it and uses it, and I'm not developing software in a vacuum. Please let me know of the changes you want and i'll do what I can to make them happen.

[edit] Acknowledgements

As stated in the release notes, WRM is under new management.

For the last several versions, the original designer of the software has turned over the code to the community to maintain. It has passed through several hands to reach mine.

I would like to thank everyone in the WRM community who has taken the time to update and keep this application living till this point, hopefully under my management we can see some new features and updates without things going really wrong. :)

Please take the time (after installation or using a web browser now) to view the credits.htm file for information on the prior maintainers of WRM. Again, my thanks to them for bringing the project to where it is today.

[edit] Installation/Upgrade

Please see docs/INSTALL for information on both installing WRM as well as upgrading a current installation of WRM. For more installation related information see the Installation Category (also linked on the left under "Documentation").

The old phpRaid_install_doc.pdf is still in your docs directory and is a very useful resource for setup and installation of WRM, however it HAS NOT been updated to reflect 3.5.1. Where information in the installation pdf and the INSTALL text file conflict, please note that the INSTALL file is correct. You can view an updated version of the old PDF at Official_Installation_Guide_for_WRM.

Also: ** Please take the time to read through the INSTALL file, *especially* if you are upgrading from a prior version and ESPECIALLY the "errata" section for information on what's broken by this release.**
