Good mourning!
When you search the word “Lua” on this forum, you get quite an endless slew of posts about Lua (-how to script, what bindings to use, script releases, etc.). It’s a fairly hot and specific subtopic on here, thus…
→ My suggestion:
If one of you moderators would create a third subcategory likely just under “Getting Stuff Done” called ‘Lua Scripts / Scripting’ or ‘Using Lua’ (-or whatever you would feel is appropriate), as a “Regular” on this site (-with post re-categorizing privileges) I would be more than happy to spend some of my time going through old posts, re-categorizing Lua-related ones accordingly into the new subcategory.
At this point it just seems like a reasonable idea to organize all of the posts that are like 90-100% Lua-related into one spot.
This might also have the effect of drawing more attention to Lua in Ardour in general, which is a powerful tool/feature that should be highlighted where possible. And for non-coding-savvy users this category could more-easily expose them to helpful scripts users have posted over the years.
Let me know what you guys think.
Because maybe this is not reasonable (or undesireable) for some reason? …

[ PS: Also, based on these numbers, a Lua-scripts-related subcategory would surely get more than the “Hints and Tricks” one currently does:
