Right now, there really isn't a point in having anything more than a  
basic category per bundle.
Eventually when there are a thousand bundles, it will be necessary to  
be able to easily search.

Everyone who uses a text editor knows what they're using it for.
Unless they don't know that the functionality exists at all.

HTML+CSS+JS are all webdeveloper stuff
XHTML & Various javascript libraries are related, but not assumed to  
be part of that.

So maybe we should have a subcategory system.
Where you can sort by category, then you have the WebDevelopment  
category and right under that the WebDevelopmentExtras category or  
something.

Python, C, Ruby, LaTeX, etc... If you have a clue what it is, then  
you'll know you want it.

Blogging, Mail, GTD, GTD2, GTD3, GTD-Jr, GTD'd, etc… are all just toys.

Dunno. Just doesn't need to be very complex yet
