Distributed model for bundles (was: [TxMt] Bundle and language help)

[Thomas Aylott (subtleGradient)]

It's obvious that we all agree that there should be a simple  
transparent system for Discovering, Updating and Editing bundles.
It doesn't necessarily have to be built into TextMate.app itself in  
order for it to feel transparent and simple.

The other side of the coin is the Bundle Developer side. The system  
should make it seamless for hardcore bundle developers to develop  
bundles locally and then share those bundles with the world.
The system should also allow and encourage novice and beginner users  
to make bundles for themselves and share them with the world. And also  
allow anyone to do bug fixes on any bundle and share that fix.

And all of that should be possible without having to get approval from  
anyone.

Obviously the "official" bundles that are distributed with TextMate  
should still be verified by someone, but we need to take all the  
burden of verifying the quality and compatibility of the bundles off  
of Allan.

The technical side of how to actually go about doing that doesn't  
matter nearly as much.
