Although these topics are, maybe, a bit too big for a cookbook format.

Anyway, one can start with a list of topics (maybe along with a way
for authors to commit for one or more and for potential readers to
express their interest). We can setup a project on GH and use its wiki
for this.

I like writing, and I'm due for some Lua articles for a long time, so
I'm willing to help. If I'll see a list of topics, I'll do a few where
I'll know what to write.

Anyone else want to step up? :-)
