hmm this does appear to be a real need...
i have been working on a real port to nuke and do have one working (admin area not so much). for my examples, proof, and progress please go to http://radiobarons.com/modules.php?name=wowroster . yeah it needs help but there is good news! i have promised my guild a working version before the end of the month and i will promise you that i will provide and support updates of wow roster when they are made available to me (plus coding time).
initialy i am useing
nuke version 8
roster 1.7.3
incase anyone is curious, shouldnt effect anything.
php 4
mysql 5
apache 1.7 (1.7.1? i think)
like i said i will provide updates and i will support my work just hang on another week (through lobster mini season) and you too will be up and running in no time.
