I didn't know we had to get Lua modules approved...
you don't. but acceptance by the list and endorsed by the Lua authors
hopefully gives a library that all can use and is a small step towards
lib standardization. This aim is to save on duplicated efforts.
Is there a precedent for this? Has an external module been endorsed by
the list and then by the Lua authors?
Case in point: I was looking at luaproc the other day, as I currently
use Lua Lanes (and before that, I used another one). I discovered many
similarities and some differences. That's not the point, though. When
luaproc came out, there was one posting
() that implied
that a de-facto standard can only come from a Lua author.
