CGILua was the first use of Lua for web development, back in 1996. By then it was a bind of CGI therefore the name. As the Kepler project started evolving first SAPI then WSAPI based solutions, the CGILua style (PHP like page generation) got less and less attention. CGILua is not tied to CGI anymore (since it now uses WSAPI), but the name remained. This surely didn't help much on the communication side... > Also, why does the main page say that CGILua is no longer supported if it > was just updated a little over a week ago? The changes have been mostly adaptations to changes in WSAPI (which is below SAPI, used by CGILua). While some still like the CGILua PHP like style, there is no one directly involved with the development of improvements for CGILua. Fabio and I have been working on a intermediary level (to sit between WSAPI and modules like Orbit or CGILua) that will absorb part of the current code duplication on those modules, so CGILua could eventually be refactored into a simpler module. So we are looking for voluntaries to continue the evolution of the currently non maintained modules. :o) André _______________________________________________ Kepler-Project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kepler-project http://www.keplerproject.org/
