There probably won't be much on creating bundles specifically since  
really it's just a matter of choosing "New Bundle" in the Bundle  
Editor. It's the language grammar, commands, snippets, etc. that make  
up a bundle that take some work. Look for documentation on those  
things individually and I suspect you'll have more luck.

All of these things are discussed in [the book][1] and I'm sure there  
is a lot of documentation available for free as well. And honestly,  
the best resource I've found for bundle development is the existing  
bundles. You can learn quite a bit just by poking around in the Bundle  
Editor.
