Project Infinity Public BETA

Project Infinity

Overview:
After long time, it's finally here - an mod manager which doesn't require 24/7 maintainer. In time, with people support, it can provide almost everything which BWS offered at the cost of few user actions. The main idea comes from my 'mod template generator' but the project use knowledge and experience from various other projects like WeiDU, BWP, BWS and people who shared their ideas. We will see what the future holds.
