Not only does the vast collection of WoW Lua add-ons prove the viability 
of Lua for large projects, and the scope of the skilled Lua programmer 
community, but it's also a great way to learn Lua programming, 
demonstrate your Lua programming skills to the world, and find qualified 
Lua programmers for "real world" projects.
Once you've used the add-ons, you can look at the source code to see how 
they work, and it's easy to correspond what you see with what you get.

The "auctioneer" add-on is a great example of a powerful WoW add-on that 
consists of beautifully written and well organized source code.
