Great idea! I would like to contribute to this effort.
I think that "Lua Gems" should be complementary to PiL2 and to cover
advanced topics of Lua programming such as:

* Useful Lua debugging techniques
* Concurrent (including multi-threading) programming in  Lua
* Lua and the Web (Kepler project...)
* Embedding/Extending Lua: design patterns and difficult cases
* Lua graphics bindings (wxLua, luaQt, etc)
* Distributed Lua programming, Lua-RPC, data serialization
* Lua and databases

Or well, might be too much for a single book:-)
