Of course Allan will have his own plans, objectives, etc., but I wish  
he would maybe stop development on TM (maybe, after 1.1 or something)  
and dedicate some considerable time to some good documentation; in  
particular introductory material. For example, I would love to have  
access to some video-based tutorials that, by way of example, give me  
a better overview of how "macros", "snippets", "commands", "bundles",  
etc. all fit together into the concept that is TextMate. (And these  
kinds of things are pretty easy to produce these days.)

Some time ago, I saw a 15-minute video produced by Jon Rentzsch  
introducing WebObjects by way of building a very simple address book  
application. That one single video not only demonstrated the  
mechanics of WebObjects, but also its "way" of building applications.

I think something similar for TextMate would be tremendously useful  
for people like myself, who are probably only using about 5% of the  
application's capabilities. (And I'm sure it would sell more  
licenses! :-)
