Hi!

As you may (or may not) have seen on the Cucumber google group the Cucumber TextMate plugin needs some love. There are dozens of forks and no merges to the canonical repo in the last year.

I'm organising an online hackfest on #cucumber (irc.freenode.net) some time during the next two weeks. If you want to help out (getting your changes merged in), fill in http://whenisgood.net/cucumber/tmbundle/hackfest so we can find some time slots that work for everyone.

For the full discussion, see: http://groups.google.com/group/cukes/browse_thread/thread/bf648fef563bbf99

Cheers!
Aslak and the Cucumber team
