At the beginning, Lua is far from easy for a willing user; I have some js and python experience, nevertheless I found first steps very hard and sometimes very frustrating. I incourage any of you really geek to convert into Lua some very simple templates; some from Lua scripts written by experts are simply discouraging for a beginner. 

Therefore, my suggestion is to begin the adventure of "shared wikisource scripts" with the most banal ones.

Lua-modules has been used on sv.wikisource to create CR-templates.
It's advanced mathematics to see if something is free in both Sweden/Finland
and USA, especially since we have to consider URAA.

I'm going to take my  initial, painful steps into Lua; @Cristian, how many users are using/going to use Scribuntu into it.wikipedia? I see that Modulo: namespace already has been populated a little bit, I'll take a good look to scripts, even if wikipedia templates/scripts are always very complex and very difficult to understand for me. 
Anyway.... go ahead, I'll try to follow you :-)

My 2 cents, if you like to learn a language using a book for Lua I'll suggest:
"Programming in Lua" from R. Ierusalimschy (one of the Lua creators).
I am finding it very nice to read and easy to follow.
