I am working with David on this "commercial product", which in fact is a 
free product. We are working on a Lua tutorial that will make it 
possible to run Lua code directly from a browser.  The console we have 
in the browser works much like the command line Lua interpreter.

It would be in the best interest of the Lua community if we could 
directly integrate the Lua wiki into the tutorial as it will make it 
much easier for any newbie Lua developer. As it is now, we can only 
create links to the external online tutorials and it will be difficult 
for the developer to run the tutorials and experiment.

We are only trying to make it as easy as we possible can for new 
programmers to get up to speed with Lua.

I have copied the framework for the Lua tutorials to our server so you 
can see how the tutorial looks like, but please note that you cannot run 
the scripts on this server. All links are directly to 
http://lua-users.org/wiki/

We believe that we can create a better tutorial by having the wiki as 
part of the tutorial and not use external links as we do now.
