If we're actually going to be implementing a tags system, then  
obviously yes.
afaik we were going to do the tags for future use and only actually  
implement a single tag as a category in the actual TextMate UI.

If so, then lumping rails and jquery in with framework is a bad idea.
Lumping them into the web "category" would be best.

Ideally we'd implement a better UI in the app.
Where you can choose web, and then add on any of the web related  
frameworks.

I was planning something like that affect for bundleforge and the new  
getbundles stuff.
