I'm happy to say that one of my projects, WAR Rank, is ready to be tested by a larger group of people. What is WAR Rank? It is a scenario ranking and record keeping system for Warhammer Online. Players use an add-on to save scenario results, then upload them to the website.
For ranking performance, an ELO system is used. I've also added a bonus system which can give players and teams extra points if they perform particularly well.
To get started, head on over to http://www.arsenalofwar.com/warrank and sign in. At that point, you should see a link to download the add-on. Install and enable it as you would any other WAR add-on. When you are finished playing go back to the WAR Rank website and upload the file, which is called ArsenalRank.log in your logs directory.
Notes: When you start WAR, the log file will be cleared. If you quit WAR by killing the process, or use the X button to quit (windowed mode) the file may also be cleared.
WAR rank is still in beta, so the database will eventually be wiped. I will also be fiddling with it behind the scenes as the need arises.

Please let me know of any problems you encounter or ideas you have. Thanks!
