"Lua is a programming language implemented on Wikipedia with some substantial restrictions via Scribunto. Its purpose is to allow you to process the data which is available on Wikipedia content pages to allow various sorts of customized display of information." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Lua_for_beginners

The session aims at people with different level of experience in Lua - from beginners to people with a rather deep understanding of the language - to exchange knowledge and get everyone to a good level of programming in Lua. The goal is you leaving the session and being able to write your first small modules for Wikipedia.

For having a constructive session, we'll need to have people familiar with Lua exchanging in advance. If you feel confident with working with Lua and are interested in sharing your knowledge, please contact me.
If you want to finally want to be able to read and write some super cool Modules in Lua just come by at the Wikimania.

Having more than an hour might make sense for learning a new language, but we can try to cover the basics at least.
