Pick for 8/3: oUF (new) and plugins
oUF:
The oUF core has finally gotten to a point in its development where haste has decided to upload it to WoWInterface. You may have seen layouts for it or plugins which added additional functionality being uploaded in the past few months. In oUF's comments area, haste attributes his decision to upload the core finally to the sheer presence of these additional downloads. :p
oUF (core) is a lightweight unit frames addon that depends on layouts and other plugins to get you the look/extended features you want. It does not have in-game options, and you cannot drag frames - their placement/font/etc are controlled by the code of the layout you choose. As such, oUF isn't really for those who wish to configure everything without getting their hands dirty in code. But modifying a layout or writing your own is a good way to get your feet wet in lua.
For more information as well as links to layouts and plugins, see here.
Are you the author of a mod that you think belongs in this spotlight? Just upload/update it to our site, and it will automatically be considered for that week's Pick. :)
