Actually I don't have any specific problem, I am just trying to be helpful.

'''For example, there are already several attempts to make reusable
libraries for Lua, including the various libraries that are part of
Kepler and my own stdlib project. There has also been work on making
it easy to distribute them (LuaRocks). '''


If we have been here before was there a thread topic I can reread(when 
the archives are available). Approximately when did the last effort 
fail? and more importantly was it due a technical reasons or to a lack 
of motivation?

Perhaps there is a new cast of characters on the list that can make it 
work this time. I understand what you are saying about Kepler and stdlib 
but perhaps things will be different this time if there is a community 
wide effort and an explicit goal and a website to be the focal point of 
this explicit goal.
