I saw this bundle for TextMate a couple of days ago, and it’s great! I’ve been taken with the concept of wikis ever since I listened to Andy Hunt talk about them at a NoVaLUG meeting several years ago. For those that might not know, wikis are kind of self-shaping databases, generally using words in CamelCase as links to other wiki pages.

The main drawback to most wikis (from my point of view) is that most are web based. I’m a little leery about posting too much info online (believe it or not). The best solutions that I had found before now were thew emacs wiki-mode and TiddlyWiki. They work, after a fashion, but never completely scratched my itch. But now I can have the best of both worlds – a plain text wiki, and TextMate. This may be the start of something great!

(if this were a review I’d go into more detail, but it’s not, and I’m tired, so that’s it for now)

I’ve been working on the GTD bundle, and gave it a couple of new features. The first is syntax coloring – now the different states of tasks have different colors. Not a huge change, but I like it. Second, I added a new state – priority (!). It works via a tab command, like all of the other state changes. Again, not spectacular, but nice to have. I have some other things in the works, and another GTD bundle user has provided some really nice templates for viewing and printing lists. If you are interested in the GTD bundle, stay tuned!
