350 entries in the LuaRocks repository

[Hisham <h@...>]

Hello,

We had the first such message back in March 2013 celebrating 250
entries, and the next one 5 months later celebrating 300 entries.
Another five months have passed and here we are, with 350 entries in
the LuaRocks repository! (that's 350 different things for which you
can run 'luarocks install thing'). Counting multiple versions of
projects in the rocks/ and rocks-scm/ repos, that totals 1185
rockspecs so far (this means 205 new rockspecs in the last 5 months).

This is another milestone showing that the community keeps growing and
contributing.

Here's the updated evolution graph as of today:
http://luarocks.org/doc/luarocks_evolution_350_2014-01-30.png

The 350th project happens to be, by sheer coincidence, from a
colleague at LabLua: lua-parser is a module implementing a parser of
the Lua 5.2 language written with LPeg that generates an AST in the
same format as specified by Metalua.

If my script did it right, these are the 301st-350th projects to be
