Okay, so I still think a bunch of this should be done, but it didn't get many replies last time. I'll annotate the list a bit. Maybe I can just assume that silence = consent this time? ;)

PS: Incidentally, I'm in general in favor of merging some of the smaller bundles that really belong together, and doing some other renaming to keep things better organized, more consistent, and clearer for users:
- There's no reason for Django to have 2 bundles. Also, maybe call this "Python -- Django" ?
Are any of the Django guys on this list? If so, do you mind merging the bundles?
- OCamlCodeCompletion being 3 bundles is ridiculous. Even one is pushing it, given that the concept is a drastic misuse of snippets for a problem domain they aren't suited to, but 3 is definitely overkill.
I think that someone's working on this
- JQuery should be renamed "Javascript JQuery" to match the YUI and Prototype bundles.
- "Tricks" and "Experimental" bundles seem to have an overlapping mission
Apparently they don't have an overlapping mission, and Allan wants to keep them separate. Okay by me :)
- "Template toolkit" should maybe be called "HTML -- template toolkit" so that people have an idea what it is?
- Not sure "web searches" really deserves its own bundle. Why can't it go under the "TextMate" bundle or similar.
I still sort of feel this way. Maybe it belongs in "tricks" then, or something?
- should SWeave maybe be called "R -- Sweave"?
- I still kinda think 3 GTD bundles is too much
What ever happened to the plan to get rid of "GTD" and change the name of "GTD2" to just "GTD"? Or am I just imagining that that was the plan?
- Can we just get rid of Active4D altogether, as something that's only used by one guy? (and take that theme out of the repository, too?)
I'm not sure that Aparajita guy is subscribed to this list. Maybe someone should just email him directly and ask about this?
- Change "MIPS" to "Assembler", and then people can put other assembly language syntaxes in the same bundle?
Is anyone opposed to such a change? I think it would keep things cleaner, but maybe I'm wrong about that.
Not all of the above are necessarily the best ideas. Feel free to dispute any of them.
