One thing I noticed, there's a few undocumented features/mods that could be 
writen up. Happy to help, I just need to go back to my old messages!

- Customzed login (e.g. creating a matrix style menu)
- Ability to add system-level Lua packages (e.g. from LuaRocks)
- Noddy (seperate app, not sure if apam will maintain?)
- Bridge (not set to compile, but works!)
- Ability to override specific system text lines
- Ability to customize Full Screen Reader 
- Ability to modify prompts (and script/customize them)

I don't know if people understand how powerful Talisman's Lua integration really is. I'd compare it with MPL, thought it has far less "built in" functions, but you can just... write the functions in Lua.
