I am a newbie, without expertise in script languages, but the concepts of Lua sounded cool. My first impression with lua-l was that the list owner was spamming me. What a shock! Luiz, lhf, expertly corrected my misapprehension, behind the scenes, and told me of the upcoming list-change.
Soon, the list-change effort became public, and my second important impression of Lua began: the selection & implementation of a new list-system contains complications & permutations, some technical but others human. Lately, I have anticipated the new twists & turns in the list-saga with each batch of mail.
I am sure that the spam-noise issue and the list-change effort are unwanted diversions for the primary players in the Lua project. They have 'better things to do', no doubt. While the lead personnel are the decision-makers, the Lua community and list-users have shown an interest & concern with the implementation of the new list. Perhaps a period of public hashing of list ideas and considerations could be helpful (tho I noticed that public input did not become noticeable until very (too) late in change-over...).
This message, then, is to note that the list-change is really quite important, that it is perhaps a bit more involved than anticipated, and that the Lua community itself can be and maybe should be (more) active participants in the change.

Unfortunately, there are some problems with the new list server...
So, for now, we will have to stay with the old list.
Sorry about that,
