I suggested a similar project one year ago:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2002-02/msg00031.html

Several options:

* self host (I could volunteer some space and bandwidth, CVS etc.)
I would suggest the second or third option. I suspect this project
could have frequent releases of large binaries for several platforms,
and the truth is that the lua-l archive has almost used up the lua-users
project's entire disk quota. (I requested an increased quota several
weeks ago but haven't received a reply.) In any case, this is a
potentially large project and it may be a good idea to administer it
separately from lua-users.org.
Nonetheless, it would be a good idea to put the project in a subdomain
of lua-users.org (like luamax.lua-users.org), for stable URL's
regardless of where or how it is hosted. Or maybe you plan to get a new
top level name.
Next question is how seperated/interlaced we want to keep it. Do we keep
discussions on this list, and continue to use/expand the existing
Wiki? Or
do we 'branch'?
I think this project should have its own lists. Using the lua-users
wiki to get the ball rolling is fine. If it got to the point where this
project started to engulf the wiki (high percentage of pages), I would
suggest branching off. It's easy for wiki's to link to each other. The
common syntax is Project:PageName.
