LDB Broker plugin - ?

Sooooooo..... I have a question:

a) should I attempt to learn lua and write an LDB broker plugin myself (where 'write' will probably = 'modify the dbm-ldb plugin until it works for censusplus')?

b) does someone who doesn't suck at lua want to do this more efficiently than I could?

c) does someone with the patience of a saint want to teach me lua?

I was reading http://wiki.github.com/tekkub/libdatabroker-1-1/api and got as far as "ldb:NewDataObject(name[, dataobject]) → dataobject" (which isn't very far at all) before i went 'yeahhhhh i can't do this myself.' In my defense, I've written some database display stuff with mysql, so i can't be a complete nub. just a ... mostly nub. I've tried to read all the 'learn to code lua for world of warcraft' things, and ... they don't make any sense to me. I think one of the things I don't understand is which words are 'command' words that i can't change and which words are the ones i can alter to suit the needs of the program.

but that's kind of a digression.

which option is the best option for acquiring an LDB broker plugin for censusplus, so I and others can get this little thingie off the minimap but still have something on the screen to click to get options?

Hrmm...

I don't know anything about LDB so I'd need to poke into it.

I wrote my own LDB button for recipe radar a while ago and it was very easy. All it did was toggle open/close the recipe radar window by calling the already inbuilt function to open/close the window that was in recipe radar.

Seriously if I can do it you can as I have problems with all types of scripting and programming languages (I simply can not do any scripting/programming).
