Change Log:
--------------------
Version 0.30
------------
* Added all ToT bosses. Some of them even have events!
* Added a display module - if you have the add-on installed, then instead of receiving your messages via /w, you will see them in big yellow letters. Use "/raidbot move" to reposition the frame for these messages.

Description:
--------------------
* * * BETA VERSION, TOTALLY INCOMPLETE, NO WARRANTY, DO NOT INGEST * * *

It started when I wrote Raidminder. It appeared that literally every person who heard about it immediately asked the question: "Can I make this send messages to people automatically when specific events happen?".
Well... now you can.

What this does:
* Pick a raid, pick a boss, pick an event, and write a short message to be whispered to each raider on that event (plus a raid warning, if you want).
* Each raider, in its class-colored frame with a role icon and raid mark, can be moved anywhere on the screen so you can visually plan everyone's positions.
* Yes, I know you hate typing, that's why you can easily drag & drop messages to copy them.
* All messages are saved automatically, allowing you to load them all on the next reset. You can either press Load All if the raid composition has remained exactly the same, or otherwise manually drag each message from the Load frame to any raider in the current raid.
* Except for the programmed events, you can have several custom messages for each boss that you can send by pressing a button (you'll see it). This can be useful for, say, a rotation of major healing cooldowns for frequent high damage boss abilities (HoF Windlord comes to mind).
* Preview button that sends all the messages associated with the currently selected boss to the intended recipients so everybody knows the plan in advance.
* Anyone who has the add-on installed will receive his messages in big yellow letters instead of a whisper. You can move the frame that shows these messages with "/raidbot move".


Known problems:
* Apparently the server won't let me send 25 whispers at the same time, so half the whispers get delayed by, I think, ~2 seconds. Works fine on 10-man though.
* I don't think the Clear button works. We'll get there.


Planned features:
* Actually adding...
