Re: split/join

Your are (maybe) missing my point, a message archive is not the way to
present Lua to new users - that will scare people away compared to other
languages. We need a nice indexed information source with code, ltn's
articles, tips tricks ... The wiki is the right way to go (I have no idea
about the technology behind wiki) from a information indexing perspective -
but there can be only one and it has to be on lua.org
