Announcement: Intro to DKPmon -> Raid Tracker Integration
When using DKPmon and Raid Tracker togther the approach the system takes that the website is the "system of record" meaning that the DKP is stored on the website. The mods are temporary places to manage DKP while running a raid. One of the major benefits is that multiple raid leaders can manage raids using the website as the sync point without coordinating being in-game at the same time by importing the current DKP from the site before the raid. Once you do this twice, it will take you 10 seconds.
If you get DKPmon and Raid Tracker setup and running, and your Rapid Raid setup, there is almost no work other than that required to track the values in-game through DKPmon, the initial import prior to a raid, and the export back to the site. Users say it is vastly speeding up their raids and letting them get the reporting and raid scheduling the website offers combined with an excellent in-game DKP and bid system.
It does take a bit of figuring out though, there is alot of functionality in the mods. The Rapid Raid Support forum linked on the left has some good videos. The key ones are:

Pretty much all the FAQs and videos are worth watching. they will all tell you something useful.
To make it all work the Raid Leader/DKP manager needs:
DKPmon,
Bidder,
GuildLaunchCT_RaidTracker
Raider Only Need:
Bidder
They can be downloaded on WoWInterface: http://www.wowinterface.com/portal.php?id=968&a=list
If you are horde guild Ragefire Chasm is setup as a test raid in the Raid Tracker so you can go in there and play with the mods.
The combination of these mods will give you a very powerful combination of in-game DKP tracking during the raid, boss kill and item tracking, and a quick nearly zero editing import to the site so you can use the more advanced item, attendance, and raid tools and show your raids and items on the site.
If you have any questions, let us know.
