Plugin that I'm planning for
Elitist Group to speed up and make it easier for raid leaders to form pugs or work with an inconsistent roster in general. Looking for suggestions or comments on it so to Elitist Jerks it is!
EG Leader - WoW AddOns - WowAce.com

It will require Elitist Group, and it will take advantage of all the database and syncing it already provides.
The feature lists is looking something like:
One tab that shows a columned view of your database by role (Tank/Healer/Physical DPS/Caster DPS), it will also show the rating you've left for them and a separate rating that is an average of your friends or guild.
The second tab will be the actual raid creation one, you can setup a keyword (!eg for example) or possibly it will be based off key words so "Resto Druid" would trigger it. When people match the keyword it will add them to a list and request their data through comms or it will pull it from the database if it fails to find the data. After that they move to a second panel which shows name, spec, gear/enchant/gem status, average item level and your rating (again) and a button to either invite or decline them. If you decline you can just set a simple message to send them like "Sorry, don't need another tank." and it will whisper them.
I might also include simple filters, people need at least X% accurate gear (0-80%) or X item level or it auto declines. But I'm still on the fence if this is a good idea or not.
The third tab will be your current raid. It'll show the same basic data that the first tab does with your database. It will also show alt specs, but I need to play with Elitist Group first to see about getting support for them added in.
