The IP overhead of building such a community within an Eclipse project would be high. However, I could imagine building something like the Eclipse Marketplace[1] to pull together the Lua ecosystem around the Koneki tools.

Subject: RE: [m2m-iwg] [paho-dev] Incorporating MQTT Lua client library into Eclipse Paho / Koneki ? FWIW, we’ve been using LUA as our edge scripting language for a couple of years. We currently use XMPP/HTTP rather than MQTT as the transport, though. Of course, LUA often requires native extensions to do useful stuff, particularly at the device integration level, but it has proven quite a good fit for what we’ve used it for. It would be cool to see an open community of LUA scripts/protocol drivers for commonly encountered device protocols (Modbus, Bacnet, etc.), since this stuff is generally just “plumbing” and not unique, high-value IP. Just a thought… Rick ThingWorx +M2M IWG list Hello Andy. Thank you for the note - this looks great. We heard about this news at the M2M IWG Meeting on Thursday.
If you are interested, I would like to kick off the Eclipse process needed to contribute this client. It will involve some technical and IP work as Andy suggests. Please let me know and I will be happy to work with you to get that started.
best regards.................Scott

Hi Andy
Thanks for sharing this with the list. It's fantastic that we potentially have our first additional language binding already being offered to the Paho project! It is also really exciting that Lua is one of the spaces which really shows how nicely Koneki and Paho can work together (thanks to Benjamin and his team for that).
A couple of points:
1. I think we'd need to think about the completeness of the MQTT v3.1 support currently in your bindings and see how quickly it could be brought up to par with the C and Java clients - just from the perspective of otherwise having to maintain some kind of feature matrix between the different clients.
2. From an Eclipse perspective - IANAL but my understanding is that we need to clarify that all contributions are written by the contributor, or get agreement from everyone else who might have contributed. Talking to Benjamin I think your samples (not the core library / luarock) appear to use a third-party command-line parser and that same parser is already being reviewed under the Koneki umbrella - beyond that a simple statement that you are the sole originator of the MQTT Lua bindings is suitable and we can look at getting one of the project committers to add this to the repository. I'd personally be delighted to include your client if it is possible.
Thanks
Andy
