This is a basic distribution of vim plugins and tools intended to be run on top of the latest MacVIM snapshot.

We (Carl and Yehuda) both use this distribution for our own use, and welcome patches and contributions to help make it an effective way to get started with vim and then use it productively for years to come.

At present, we are still learning to use vim ourselves, so you should anticipate a period of rapid development while we get a handle on the best tools for the job. So far, we have mostly integrated existing plugins and tools, and we anticipate to continue doing so while also writing our own plugins as appropriate.

In general, you can expect that the tools we use work well together and that we have given careful thought to the experience of using MacVIM with the tools in question. If you run into an issue using it, please report an issue to the issue tracker.

The distribution is designed to work with Vim >= 7.3.
