Well, we had this discussion on the PLua list sometime ago, and the result 
is this. 

I do want to create a multi-platform engine to mobile applications, and Lua 
fits it perfectly. The problem is: I'm a bit new to Lua (specially Lua 5) 
and I don't have the time to do all the work alone. 

If someone is interested, please e-mail me. A good knowledge of PalmOS 
and/or PPC programming is welcome. 

I've started the port of Lua4 to PalmOS, but I had some problems with it and 
couldn't find a easy way to do such a port. 

My bet that's I'm still to newbie in Lua to create such a port alone. But if 
I don't try, I won't make it, isn't it ? :) 

Cheers !
