Thanks a lot for the initiave and for your work. Documenting LuaForge will
certainly not be an easy task, but we now have a very nice starting point.

Instead of using lua-users wiki we have created (thanks to Fabio
Mascarenhas) a temporary wiki for LuaForge details on:
http://www.lua.inf.puc-rio.br/luaforge

Gerhard , would you mind moving your content there? Let me know if need any
help with formating.

While everyone is invited to contribute to this wiki, just keep in mind that
someday in the future it will be moved to luaforge.net, so any bookmarks or
RSS feeds will have to be updated.

Exactly, any contributions to the wiki will benefit everyone involved with
LuaForge, project managers and users.

Thanks in advance for everyone helping on this issue.
