I thought luaforge was a dead project with not much left but project's
former home pages? 404 messages abound.

I'll need to think about it and investigate what would be required a
bit. But I question whether Gforge is the right software for the task.

There was some discussion on this list a couple of days ago about the
OpenComparison program/service as a candidate for housing such a
project. <http://opencomparison.org/>: "We offer free subdomains to
open-source languages, web frameworks, and other projects." The
service pulls in a lot of data about a package once it's fed the URL
for the project's version control system.

There may be a better service for the project. It isn't a software
type I've worked with before. But I suspect it's a project better
crowd-sourced than a one person project.

Best regards,
