Reference

Several aspects of LuaGnome are documented here. Should you seriously consider writing non-trivial software using LuaGnome, please read all of these pages (with the possible exception of the internal architecture).

A probably lesser useful documentation is automatically generated from the source code and specially formatted comments (LuaDoc). It is probably a mess and won't help much to write software, but might be useful when hacking LuaGnome.
