This will be the "official" Lua "organization" since there are no  
others AFAIK, and it has been discussed on the official mailing-list.  
So it should be easy enough to write a description for any native  
English speaking person...

Lua needs more attention and could benefit from more libraries so  
Google SoC is an opportunity to gain both.

1. There is already a post on the wiki.
2. This is already being discussed here.
3. It could be nice if people could blog about it.
4. It could be nice if there was an announce made on Lua.org.
5. Since a lot of Lua developers are actually playing WoW (I know you  
are :)) and are still students in need for money to pay their online  
subscription to Blizzard it could be nice to post on the Wowace forum  
and a few other related places... This would be a way to say "Learn a  
great and modern language while having fun at the same time" :)
