Programming Addons for Cataclysm (Patch 4.0)

Blacksen talks about how Blizzard has changed its UI system in several major ways as of Patch 4.0, and how this effects addon developers, using his own Loot Council Lite as an example.  It's a technical article instead of a general interest one, but since I rarely see addon writers talking about their craft, I wanted to add a link here for those who might be interested in a glimpse of how such things work.

How Loot Council Works UPDATED

A discussion of Loot Council and how setting up a group to distribute loot works.  It's a system with a lot of potential for abuse, so beware of joining a guild with this system in place without knowing how it works there.
