Donations

You can help to support the Lua project by buying a copy of the reference manual, by buying a copy of Programming in Lua, or by making a donation.

The Lua project is hosted by Lablua, a laboratory of PUC-Rio (a non-profit educational organization). Your contribution will complement the support we need to keep the Lua project running and will allow us to dedicate more efforts to it.

A nice discussion of the costs of developing free software and a good case for why and how you can contribute to a free software project is made by Mary Gardiner in HOWTO Pay for Free Software.

Thank you for supporting Lua!
