More details, you say?
1) What They Are
DW Templates are regular HTML files that use particular logic
encapsulated in standard XHTML (SML, actually) comment tags: <!--
Comment here... --> (example). There is a convention to the tags and
their usage, but it's horribly buried in the DW development site,
various blogs, and the DW documentation. I've never found a definitive
list.
2) What They Do
The tags are used by DW to cordon off sections of the (X)HTML as
editable or no, to indicate inclusion from external file snippets
(called Library Items) or other template files altogether (called
'Nested Templates'), and to pass around variable-like value
assignments. These features are mostly used by DW exclusively, but the
logic is no secret.
3) What I Propose
For those of us who still like to build XHTML sites in text or who use
programmatic approaches to building sites, it would be advantageous to
be able to build DW templates, as well, based upon the programming
logic we define. However, with no concrete reference on the subject,
this becomes problematic.
Hence, a Textmate bundle that:
1) Provides a reference for the DW Template Tag library
2) Performs the 'Validate Template' action according to DW Template
logic
3) Generates DW Template Tags automatically from a standard Bundle
interface
Thoughts, ideas, critiques?

This is the list that bundle developers are subscribed to, namely
those that have committed and are committing to bundles in the
repository, so it is the proper venue for asking bundle related
questions, though for the particular question of a Dreamweaver bundle,
seeing how it is not in the repository, you don't get any advantages
by just asking in this list, versus the users' list. On the contrary,
it is possible that some regular user has created one such bundle for
their own use or whatever. They are not likely to be following this
list. For regular users this list mainly serves for them to find out
what's cool and new in the bundles.
What kind of direction are you looking for? I probably won't be able
personally to offer any, but someone else might if you are more
specific about what you are looking for.

Hey, am I subscribed to the wrong list? Is there a forum or something
that would be a better venue for my questions? I was originally
writing to see if anyone was already working on a Bundle for handling
Dreamweaver templates in Textmate. Can someone give me a little
direction here? Thanks,
