55<h3 id="social">Social enhancements for LuaRocks.org</h3>
56<h4>Brief explanation</h4>
57
58<p>
59The LuaRocks.org website is where Lua users and developers find and upload Lua modules. Users
60can currently create accounts for uploading modules and also for "following" modules, which
61produces notifications in the top bar when other users follow your modules. There's a lot
62more, however, that we could add to improve the site experience, such as:
63</p>
64
65<ul>
66<li>add the distinction betwen "starring"/following modules, like GitHub</li>
67<li>add the ability to follow developers</li>
68<li>show a feed of updates to modules you star</li>
69<li>send an email digest for modules you follow</li>
70<li>and other ideas!</li>
71</ul>

91<h3 id="orgsite">Module management enhancements for LuaRocks.org</h3>
92<h4>Brief explanation</h4>
93
94<p>
95The LuaRocks.org website is where Lua users and developers find and upload Lua modules. Users
96can currently create accounts for uploading modules, and each module becomes attached to one
97user account. For organizations with multiple developers, this can prove cumbersome. Also,
98the only ways to upload modules are via the command-line tool or via the web interface.
99This project aims to improve LuaRocks.org support for organizations, via two main goals:
100</p>
101
102<ul>
103<li>Organization accounts/modules shared across accounts, showing module stats on
104module pages</li>
105<li>Better GitHub integration: automatically creating new module
106versions with webhook, automatically syncing readme, showing module popularity
107on GitHub</li>
108</ul>
109
110<h4>Knowledge prerequisites</h4>
111<ul>
112<li>Lua</li>
113<li>web development</li>
114<li>JSON and REST APIs</li>
115<li>LuaRocks experience is a plus</li>
116<li>MoonScript is a plus (but can be learned for the project!)</li>
117<li>experience with the GitHub API would be a major plus</li>

130<h3 id="gui">A GUI front-end for LuaRocks</h3>
131<h4>Brief explanation</h4>
132
133<p>
134A cross-platform GUI desktop front-end for LuaRocks. It should allow users to
135search for rocks, list installed rocks, install and remove them, view rock
136details, etc. There are some options on portable Lua toolkits for developing
137this front-end (WxLua, TekUI, QtLua, etc.)
138</p>
139
140<p>
141A possible side-result of this project would be to define an API for
142interfacing the LuaRocks backend. The LuaRocks backend is currently accessible
143via the command-line tool, but an API is desired. By making a API wrapper around
144the command-line tool, this project could provide good insights into a design
145for an UI-agnostic API.

165<h3 id="typedlua">Port LuaRocks to Typed Lua and make it a library</h3>
166<h4>Brief explanation</h4>
167
168<p>
169LuaRocks is currently not a reentrant library. We would like to make usable as
170a library, embeddable into applications. This would require a good deal of
171refactoring, and encapsulating all state into a main instance object. Porting
172the code base to Typed Lua would be a great opportunity to make the codebase
173reentrant. Since Typed Lua generates plain Lua, it would not become a new
174dependency for LuaRocks, but instead it would be used as a tool in the
175refactoring process.

195<h4>Brief explanation</h4>
196
197<p>
198Making LuaRocks able to generate packages for Linux distributions. We could
199have a build farm which builds all rocks for, say, Arch Linux, and then a
200repository of binary rocks that can be installed with Pacman, similar to

221<h3 id="static">Static build support for LuaRocks</h3>
222<h4>Brief explanation</h4>
223
224<p>
225LuaRocks currently builds Lua modules as dynamic libraries. The aim of this
226project is to add support for building static libraries. The local manifest
227format needs to be extended. Also, research if it would be possible to make
228that work beyond the LuaRocks 'builtin' rockspec mode (including a possible
229extension of the rockspec format). Another possibility is adding a command
230that builds a custom interpreter bundling a set of rocks statically. Other
231targets benefitting from static builds could be embedded systems: research how
232to improve LuaRocks support for cross-compiling.
