TextMate should come with an updated Rails bundle.

As for a central location for bundles, there is the svn repository:  
http://anon:anon@macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/

However, I’d rather not have the bundles turn into a repository of  
hundreds of snippets, macros, commands, and similiar contributed by a  
dozen different people [1].

Snippets should be trivial to create, so the default bundles should  
just have some near universal useful stuff, and “show the way”. The  
more default items a bundle ships with, the harder it likely is for  
the user to learn to use it, and the less inclined the user likely is  
to start expand the bundle with the stuff he would find useful (using  
the coding style, tab triggers, and similar, that he finds to be in  
his taste).

The wiki [2] however is free for anyone to edit.

That said, please do keep sending useful stuff to this list (or links  
to blog posts about it)!
