I've been wanting to add the ability to view/edit each bundles README in the bundle editor. That probably will help a bit.
Allan, just a few thoughts on this. IF this ReadMe file could be viewed in different formats depending on the file name extension. Eg. ReadMe.txt it's treated as plain text, but ReadMe.html is treated as HTML. Perhaps it would just be easier to treat it as HTML all the time. I'm not sure which is easier for you/everyone ?
Why? Well, if it's HTML then we could have internal links to read more Snippets, Commands, Templates, etc. files or even to a website URL that could have more detailed descriptions of what's in the various bundles, rather than - perhaps - one single long ReadMe document that contains it all. This might not be absolutely crucial in every case, but it might just give greater flexibility to everyone for the future. Who knows what type of great bundles that will arrive up ahead ?
Also, I am seriously considering the thing people have requested about having bundles as separate downloads. That'd give them a version number, release notes etc.
Yes, I think that could be an improvement as well, especially for shared bundles that might be worked in the community. Perhaps something along the lines of Firefox's Extensions system type functionality thing ??
Kind regards,
Mats
