Hi, As many of you probably have noticed, the Kepler site wiki was quite out of date and was still explaining how to use Kepler as a software package.
But as now we have LuaRocks 2.x and WSAPI as stable mechanisms for deployment and structuring of web applications, Kepler as a software installer looses its appeal (and would be an added weight for those of us involved in the development and release of modules). I'm sorry for this lack of clarity, but I've had a lot of different things to handle until recently and only now am being able to give some attention to the Kepler site and projects docs. The first action was change the Kepler wiki to reflect the fact that it is not to be considered a piece of software, but a group of people with common intentions. Kepler the project is about using Lua for web development. This involved removing a lot of pages, rewriting some of them (specially the home page, tks Yuri!) and reducing the navigation bar. At least we have now a slim site. :o) Concerning the software side, Fabio has already implemented an installer script for WSAPI that can be used as a template for application/framework installers such as the old Kepler Install (look for "Unix Installer" in http://keplerproject.github.com/wsapi/). This would allow, for example, for a Sputnik installer that would include Lua+LuaRocks+modules without any reference to "Kepler". That URL above hints at another change that both me and Fabio haven't exactly spread well. After the LuaForge crisis, some of the modules have moved to github and so have their documentation files. I've put redirects at keplerproject.org/projectname and projectname.luaforge.net to the correct pages in github. The important part is to note that there will be no more "Kepler releases" and, from now on, each maintainer is responsible for his/her module site/docs/rockspec. The idea of being part of the Kepler Project involves only using LuaRocks and WSAPI based architectures. I'd like to see if someone has anything to say on the whole movement and refactoring of the site, thanks in advance.
