I am very happy to see remind being supported. (Thanks, Haris!) I have two comments/observations, though.
First, though it is good practice to scope commands, there is a reason to leave the display of your calendar unscoped. As it stands, these receive the scope of source.remind. That means in order to view your calendar, you need to navigate to your remind file(s). If they are unscoped, you can view your calendar on the fly while working on unrelated files.
Second, about the Remind-->Show-->This Month command. Why not use the rem2html command? The output is more readable, and anyway it seems odd to have html output of text---all that is being added is the nice header.
A screenshot for comparison and an alternative monthly command can be found at:

(As anyone may gather from the screenshot, term here in London begins in October.)

Nice work Mark.
Thanks.

Actually I only worked on the grammar, Allan got the thing together and committed it. The bundle needs a lot of work at this point, we just wanted to get it out there so to speak. Even the grammar I am sure will not deal with some not very typical cases, since I don't really have many examples of remind files, and use it very little myself. So let us know what breaks the syntax, and what commands/ snippets could prove useful.

I agree, but the problem then is finding a key equivalent that doesn't conflict with things in all bundles. For instance the original shortcut was one of the key equivalents traditionally reserved for language grammar, and in this case the grammar for languages starting from C (e.g. C, CSS etc). The new shortcut is the "web preview" shortcut, which you might argue could perhaps be overloaded, since any language implementing a web preview will be having more specificity. In general though, it is subtle to have an unscoped command. A better approach might simply be to trigger this preview via a program more dedicated to such tasks, like Quicksilver. Then you would have the calendar accessible from anywhere, not just within TextMate.
Using rem2html is also probably a good idea.

Hi Haris.

Thanks to Allan, too then.

Point taken.
Allan, the new monthly command is much nicer, thanks.
