[TxMt] Re: TextMate 2

[enas]

I would be very happy to pay for the upgrade (who wouldn't? it seems  
to be a consensual issue, at least amongst those who bother saying it  
in the list :).

Concerning the general remarks raised, as the one concerning the  
bundle developers remuneration, I guess the "natural" solution would  
be that TextMate gets eventually open-sourced (with the possibility to  
make donations to the bundle developers as well as to the core  
project's developers). I understood that Allan has a very precise  
vision of where he wants to get to, so it wouldn't seem strange that  
once this state is achieved (or if Allan gives up on reaching that  
state, whichever comes first :), he decides to open-source it. Is  
there any consideration on that matter?

As everyone agrees, one of the great advantages of TextMate is its  
free project-like community (which as far as I know, is quite unique  
for a non open-source piece of software, which shows that not  
everything is black or white as some people often claim it - TextMate  
indeed shows a smart combination of the advantages of different models).
