textmate2 wiki with ads? no thanks :)
No problem. :)
Why do we need matewiki.com (http://matewiki.com) when there is already wiki.macromates.com (http://wiki.macromates.com)?
I posted the first 5 reasons that came to mind an email or two back:
I want EVERYONE to have access to it, not just me which will lead to a broader and more updated resource. The macromates CSS theme is way too thin for my screen. I'm a control freak and want to be able to use it as a personal resource for TextMate bundle development. I'm going to put ads on it in an attempt to support my wild and not-yet- profitable personal projects. I'd rather figure ___ out myself then get access to someone else's ___.
BTW, yes I know everyone hates ads but I can either get a job and not work on TextMate & other personal projects or try to get my hustle on and do what I care about. I'll set up a donate link soon since people are so vocally against ads. ;)
PS If you are logged in to the Wiki the ad disappears. Registration is obviously free and simple. Happy? :)

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?

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.

Duly noted hahaha. :) You definitely read my answers very literally.
I want it to be a community resource specifically for developers using TextMate. I spend most of my time writing code, not documentation. So if everyone adds a little thing they find useful or a little bugfix/workaround, it will help everyone. I will use it as a personal resource, in the same way I use Wikipedia. Just because it is useful for me doesn't mean it won't be useful for others (and I am actively promoting making it useful for everyone who wants to use it).
By "Control Freak" I really don't mean over the content of the wiki. I should say I'm more of a DIY guy. If the community wants something, I don't have any problem listening or allowing other responsible people great degrees of control. I just like to figure stuff out for myself.
BTW the tm2tips site is too linear for my tastes. I'm familiar with it. I can't look things up by subject like on my wiki.
I haven't finished my site yet, I just thought I'd mention it since someone may find it useful.
Thanks for your advice everyone,

FWIW, I just now experimented. It looks like most pages can be edited by anyone; just click the "Edit Page" link at the bottom. You'll be asked for an author name, and it looks like we're all on our honor not to "borrow" someone else's name. Some key pages are password protected, but in general no password appears to be needed. (Not even a CAPTCHA, either. Good god, how do they keep the spambots out!?!)
So, no offense Brandon, but I agree that the community at large is best served by the official wiki.
no offense Brandon
Definitely no offense taken. Feel free to use it or not use it as you please. There might be things that interest people, such as my TM_Project bundle that adds some basic support for .tmproject files back to TextMate 2. Check it out at http://www.matewiki.com/index.php?title=New_Bundles.
is the path correct? Says "~/Library/Application\ Settings/Avian/Bundles", shouldnt it be "~/Library/Application\ Support/Avian/Bundles" ?
Anyway, corrected and installed bundle, Im now able to load the old project files just fine. Thanks for sharing!
