Is it difficult to learn how to write addons? Is there a good place to post my idea for someone else to write one?
I am not a computer programmer, but I have programed (yay! my university made me learn fortran and pascal and I have messed with C+ a bit) and would not say I am very good although I understand the basics concepts well.
My Idea:
Right now I do not like the DK rune addons I currently see for the new sequential rune system happening in Cataclysm. As only 3 can be refreshing at any one time, I do not need to see cooldown timers on all 6 at once. Some can proc to be ready instantly, one talent procs the ability for runes to refresh faster, etc..
Here is a video showing the basics of the sequential rune system on the default UI:

I want to be able to see what is happening with the runes at a glance, and not have to watch them like I currently am.
Here is a picture of my idea:
Refreshed runes on the top, runes on cooldown on the bottom, and a single bar showing the progress of the rune that is refreshing. Just an clean easy way to see where everything is at a glance.
Would something like this be easy to write for a noob-programer? Or is there someone willing to write an addon like this that I could donate to?
