I don't think anyone said they aren't interested (although I'm sure some
people aren't).

Indeed. I think one way to fix this problem is to draft a formal policy
of what is on topic for luau. There were a few of us discussing this
not too long ago. If we say luau is a great place to ask programming
questions in the policy, then that would probably solve the problem.

That would be another solution. That wasn't the only reasons I was
saying to create the mailing list though.

Definately.
So many people are either against the idea of creating a new list, or
are in the middle, I don't think I'm going to right now.
I think we should advertise though, that luau is an okay place to get
such help.
