If anyone is looking for a way to contribute something to the community, get their name in lights, get involved with the community, or have something to put on their cv, I for one would love to see a tutorial on writing Lua AIs.

Just really basic stuff, like: what is a Lua AI? How does its architecture compare to the C++ AIs? What can you do with it? Limitations? How to get started writing some really simple AI, that walks to the nearest metal, builds an extractor, and then builds a solar panel.
