[TextMate] Page for contributed stuff?

Hey,

This might have come up already, but I think it would helpful to have a 
single page that collects (or at least points to) all the available 
add-ons folks have put together for TextMate, such as bundles, 
syntaxes, snippets, and so on. A two-line summary of what it does (with 
screenshots where possible) would also be great.

I agree that the power of TextMate comes from unlocking its _insane_ 
amount of configurability. But, I also suspect that some of the 
nay-sayers--especially those less experienced with the power of a 
shell--would be much more inspired if they saw what they could *do* 
with TM (without having to build the actual widgets themselves).

For inspiration, I think Alcor has done a nice job with [Quicksilver's 
plug-in page][1], which folks can sort by alpha, popularity, or update 
freshness. Best of all, users can click to install any of the plug-ins 
right from that page. Takes a lot of the mystery out of the process.

Just one data point. If ya'all need help with bandwidth or what have 
you, please let me know how I can pitch in. I am, as the kids say, a 
fan.
