Re: Lua List of Projects overhauled, query about criteria

[Stefan Sandberg <keffo.sandberg@...>]

I always found it helpful when discussion about luas reliability to be 
able to point to the one where nasa used lua 4 to control gas-valves on 
the launchpad, but that's removed now..

Imo there should be one list the way it is now, and then an "old" list 
that just keeps piling up as time goes by, doesn't need to be with links 
or  anything like that, but just having a running record like that is 
anything but bad...
I can't think of a reason why old projects that used lua should be 
forgotten...?
