I would have thought that however the doc is produced, it's
possible to produce an html version of it; so that an optional
"docpage" or "documentation_url" field in the rockspec description
table would work around the lack-of-standards problem ?
Even if the only thing done with it was a "documentation"
link in repositories/rocks/ that would still be most useful.

(It's a mystery to me (nor being a user of either) why git and
 luaforge pages don't seem to offer documentation buttons...)

Has anybody ever suggested a  luarocks show modulename  command
(like aptitude show) ?  It could display the version, source url,
description and dependencies, and whether installed or not ...
