Would you like something like http://ruby-toolbox.com/? I use it when
I have to search for a Ruby Gem, and sometimes miss it for Lua. It 
makes
it trivial to find choices and pick those you should evaluate.

Is there something like this in the Lua community? The wiki comes close
but the interface is not as easy to use.
