Great News! I got in contact with the original developer of SpartanUI! He plans on coming back eventually, but in the mean time I'll be able to continue development on the official addon. Pretty soon we'll be migrating this page to the official SpartanUI page!
Hello Everyone,
I'm Vaebris of Ars Discordia on DoomHammer-US. I'm the new maintainer of this addon and I'm looking forward to keeping this great addon alive and well! If you have any questions please feel free to send me an in game whisper or drop me an email at info spartanui.net. If you decide to send me a whisper make sure the first thing you whisper me with mentions SpartanUI, because I normally ignore whispers from low levels I don't know.
I want to give a big THANK YOU to Zilver for letting me take over this project. I also want to give a big thank you to Baine for giving a good base to continue from.
I have kids, a software development company, a life, so at times things will go slow ... this is just how it'll be,
I do this in my "spare time", and I profit in no way from spending all this time on this.
I need testers to make sure all bug's have been squashed.
We are close to having an actual Beta version.
If you have a problem please report it ... Report issues HERE ("https://github.com/vaebris/SpartanUI/issues")
When you report an issue please write what version you are using. (*)
If you get an error message in-game report it and include the error message please.
It takes so little time, and help SO MUCH.

Also Included
They are in the zip file, but not in the github repo.
Bartender4 ("http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/bartender4.aspx") which provides the action bars used in this suite. Positioning is pre-configured for you, although you may still tweak the positioning by switching profiles in Bartender4. You may disable Bartender4 and use another action bar addon if you so desire, however you MUST use something, as SpartanUI disables the default MainMenuBar.
oUF ("http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info9994-oUF.html") provides the base code used in SpartanUI_PlayerFrames and SpartanUI_PartyFrames. In order for them to operate you must also have oUF enabled. If you do not use them you may disable oUF. Additional oUF plugins are available, but may not be supported by the developers of SpartanUI, so use them at your own risk.
SpartanUI Credits
I take no credit for the code that was wrote prior to me taking over this project (Originally a fan update). The original authors of SpartanUI were Beladona ("http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=12439") and Ansu ("http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=58968"). The project was then picked up in the form of a fan update by Zilver ("http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=30416") and continued in private by Baine ("http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/member.php?u=150634") when Zilver stopped playing WoW.
I've tried to get into contact with the original authors of SpartanUI, but have failed. However, I will continue to try.
The support forums are down, the website is only semi-functional, and their repo hasn't had a commit in over 2 years. A lot of patches have come and gone,and no word from the SpartanUI dev since around "Feb 27, 2010". Myself and many others consider this a dead project. The addon authors haven't logged into wowinterface (or anywhere else I can find) in a long long time. That is the reason why I'm dropping FanUpdate from the name. That's one of the beauties of open source software. If the original authors no longer want to continue with a piece of software someone else can pick it up.
If the original authors want me to stop this project all they have to do is ask. I'd be happy if they come back.
