The Python Cookbook was built using community submitted 'recipes'.

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python

Anyone who had a recipe published (or even considered) was provided
with a free copy of the paper edition. This worked quite well, and has
_lots_ of community support behind it.

The same thing could work quite well for Lua.
