[...] I'm curious about bundle development as well. I've been creating various snippets and macros for Rails and would like to share them. I started out with the bundle on the rails wiki, but that is old. If there's not a central place for this, we should start one.
TextMate should come with an updated Rails bundle.
As for a central location for bundles, there is the svn repository: http://anon:anon@macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/
However, I’d rather not have the bundles turn into a repository of hundreds of snippets, macros, commands, and similiar contributed by a dozen different people [1].
That's good to hear. :) I'll try to go through what's in svn this week and make sure it's all up to date.
Snippets should be trivial to create, so the default bundles should just have some near universal useful stuff, and “show the way”. The more default items a bundle ships with, the harder it likely is for the user to learn to use it, and the less inclined the user likely is to start expand the bundle with the stuff he would find useful (using the coding style, tab triggers, and similar, that he finds to be in his taste).
Clever thinking. I don't know if I would have thought of that.
The wiki [2] however is free for anyone to edit.
That said, please do keep sending useful stuff to this list (or links to blog posts about it)!
Will do! Thanks.
