IMHO, a far more interesting topic than ActiveStates marketing is
their offer to provide some support to the community. Perhaps someone
invested in the documentation, infrastructure or hosting of various
resources could point out where the Lua community could use some
commercial support? For me items like monetary contributions,
mirroring and paid developer time come to mind? I think a Lua
conference in Vancouver would be awesome (probably not practical
though).
