[TxMt] Enhancing the Ruby Bundle

Hi all.

I use TextMate for Ruby programming all day everyday  
(professionally).  I just recently bought a new computer and am  
slowly migrating everything over.  I wanted to rebuild my TextMate  
snippets and commands in the process, so I could reevaluate what I've  
created, fix minor annoyances I have found in usage, and improve on  
what I have created.

I have a pretty large set of additions in my old Ruby bundle.  I have  
tons of snippets for iterators, testing and common language  
constructs, a few handy commands (like switching { ... } to do ...  
end), and even snippets for many standard libraries (like YAML::dump/ 
load and an OptionParser skeleton).

My questions are:

1.  Is there any interest in me providing these additions publicly?
2.  Would if be allowed for me to add some or all of this to the  
default Ruby bundle?

I figure I'm going to be entering all this again anyway.  It doesn't  
matter to me if it's just for me or for all of us.  I didn't know if  
there is some desire to keep the default bundles pretty small or  
anything though.  Let me know if there's interest and, if so, how  
best to provide it.

Thanks.
