Hmm, I thought the Macromates wiki is open-access...? I'm able to edit it, anyway. If it's restricted, I don't remember how I got access. Anybody know what the policy is for their wiki?

The macromates CSS theme is way too thin for my screen.

You don't like the theme and so the community should band together to build a second, redundant wiki? Just use GreaseMonkey (or something similar) and problem solved.

I'm a control freak and want to be able to use it as a personal
resource for TextMate bundle development.

I thought you were asking for contributions to a community wiki. That's quite different from a "personal resource". There are already sites like that, such as http://tm2tips.tumblr.com/. Also I don't think being a control freak is compatible with the wiki model. It's nice that you want to share your work, but I still don't see the point of a community wiki when there's already an official one.
