Hi guys,

I have not given much back to the community, so I thought this would be a good time to start. I would be willing to put together a Lua DevSuite. It would be a Windows 2000+ installer that easily installs Lua binaries, Lua documentation, add the Lua install directory into the PATH environment variable, Give the Lua files a cool looking icon, and make .lua files run when double clicked (also when right-clicked 'Edit'). I would use Programmers Notepad as the "IDE" because I have it completely setup for my work and home use.

It could include whatever Lua modules this group though were important. (e.g. LuaSocket, LuaFileSystem, LuaEx, wxLua as a Lua module, ect...)

It would be a starting place. I would gladly put all the source for the installer on LuaForge or share with the LuaBinary project. What do you think? Please give feedback. I have wanted to do this for a while.
