At one end of the scale you could reuse the luaposix/curses window and buffer management code to build a standalone file-manager, right through to the other end of the scale of contributing dired implementation patches for inclusion in a future release.  Bear in mind this is an FSF project under the GPL, not the usual Lua MIT/X11 terms, which has implications.

Hi, Gary,

You said "rebranded" and that things are still in a state of flux. But
the link you gave is for an editor toolkit, which is not how the Gnu
Zile at the following location is described.
<http://libreplanet.org/wiki/GNU_Zile>.

I need to understand a bit more for the Where Lua Is Used web page. Is
the libreplanet web page going to go away? Or is there still a Gnu
Zile that is a ready-to-go plain text editor as opposed to a text
editor toolkit? 1 product or 2?

Best regards,

Paul
