So, you know what Haiku is, right? It's form of Japanese poetry. The most popular English version is 3 lines long. The first line is 5 syllables, the second 7, and the third is 5 again. All well and good, I'm sure you say, but what does this have to with WoW? Fimlys of the Asleep at the WoW blog posted a Wow-ku challenge a few days ago, asking people to make up Haikus based on our favorite game.

Here's a few I whipped up:

TrinityChat by Maul

A comprehensive chat tool that has these main features -

1) Filters what you see from other players and/or yourself in any channel you choose.
- Caps Squasher will eliminate excessive CAPS.
- The Enough! filter will eliminate excessive punctuation.
- This feature can be used to filter bad/lazy English (the main reason I wrote it)
- Or you can set up custom filters such as a pirate talk filter.
- Highlight filtered words so you know if a word has been filtered.
- Acronym filters to change BRD to Blackrock Depths. Choice to highlight changed acronyms.
- A GoldSpam/Advertising filter. Blocks messages from these spammers and removes the name from your whisper reply list if received in a whisper.
- A unique squelch filter that will only display messages that contain certain keywords for the channel it is enabled for. For example, the default filter included is designed to only show messages of legitimate trade channel traffic.

2) Set up and manage private chat channels.
- Create a custom slash for a private channel, no need to remember it's channel number.
- Private channels are made "sticky", meaning it will become the default channel when opening a chat line if it is the last chat channel used.
- Use of TrinityLinks. This enables linking items and enchants in private channels. All users must have TrinityChat to encode/decode links.
- Suppress join/leave notifications all together, or enable notifications just for people on your friends list.
- Customize your channel colors and have TrinityChat remember by channel name, not number, which channel the color is applied to.

3) Adjust the position of your edit box and it's scale.

4) Expand/reduce your chat window with the added arrow button under the chat menu on the chat frame.

5) Scroll through chat window text with your mousewheel.

6) Reporting feature that makes tracking ToS violations and creating a ticket much easier. This feature also records your conversation with GM's.
- Current other than GoldSpammers, the only other violations this addon will track are naming violations that contain non-English letters in the name.

This addon, as will all future and updated Trinity addons, also includes TrinityCore, a base addon used by all other Trinity addons. /trinity will open the configuration menu for all Trinity addons loaded that are made compatible with TrinityCore.

Scrapped all the useless crap. It's back to the original design.

NinjaYell is a small addon useful for announcing to your group when key spells are applied, removed or missed (resisted, immune, dodge, etc.).

NEW! You can use custom messages for spells when they are applied, removed or missed
NEW! You can now use spell IDs AND spell names, instead of only spell IDs.

NinjaYell still only uses about 5 KB of memory.

How do I add my own spells?
NinjaYell does not have any kind of config, which is one of the things that keeps this addon so small. To edit what spells you want NinjaYell to announce, open up core.lua in the NinjaYell folder and follow the directions inside.

I've added quite a few comments to the core.lua file (they're the lines with the -- before them) to help explain what's happening and what you need to do to add your own spells & messages.
