Springie is a standalone windows/linux application (made in C#)

Key features:
=========
- designed to provide stable server which can run without supervision
- key abilities are votable (voteforce, votekick, votemap)
- can run without spring and without maps/mods
- ability to listen to commands from spring and to relay chat between game and lobby
- includes automatic map/mod discovery and update
- presets concept allows server owner to define sets of changes to spring settings and players can vote for preset to apply those changes
- everything is configurable using GUI. Each command can be assigned rights level and places where it works (for example you can set springie to listen to commands directly from game, or from some channels)
- springie autohosts can upload data to central stats gathering site
- has several minor abilities which should streamline using (for example automatically kicks unsynced people, automatically opens game when game ends or people left server, provides maplink for every new joiner, all filtering - like maps, users is done using multiple case insensitive substrings)
- updates itself automatically
NOTE: This branch of springies has been deprecated. New springie has no GUI and is optimized for server use, hosting great number of autohosts and spawning more at demand. If you wish to use this version, get it from http://code.google.com/p/summerspring/

Notes
====
- You don't need any super connection. Any ADSL will do. Traffic generated by hosting is really small. You don't need a very powerfull CPU either.
- Make sure you use port open at your firewall (or forwarded port if behind NAT). Always run a test game with other person before leaving server on.
