Good Idea!
Basically, IMHO we need a core Lua, and some more layers of code
around it. The excellent Lua core is there. But I think that we would
have a much larger community if there would be a set of canonincal
accompaniying tools.
The problem is that my time is very limited, at the other hand, I
cannot get my hands off lua, so let's see..
tolua would be nice to have there.
I am trying to set up a numerical analysis tool similar to matlab, but
for partial differential equations, which needs access to huge data
sets and handling of "native" arrays. I could contribute in this area.

PS: How is "Full Moon" in Portuguese ? This would be my suggestion for
the name...
