  1. So it's doable, but prolly requires someone with initiative, some js skills and the self interest in wanting to drive this feature both through the greasemonkey-dev approval process, implement it and have the feature propagated to userscripts.org too, ideally by default, so extension users don't have to configure anything to get the feature. / Greasemonkey developer without mentioned initiative

  2. Next issue to tackle would be showing that the current script's *current version* is the one installed. My best take on that one would be adding an MD5 or SHA256 hash of the current version's source code in the install link, as some extra custom attribute md5sum="77b5611c9b05d7df96918329962e0d6e" or similar, which GM could cross reference with its installed scripts, and add an installed="yes" to.

  3. It's a somewhat tricky problem to solve in a pretty way. Privacy-wise, the intelligent Greasemonkey stance would be not to disclose information to any random site what user scripts are installed. Deciding that userscripts.org may see such info would sort of address that concern (might gain a consensus vote on the GM-dev and/or GM-users mailing lists).

  4. Are there enough access logs saved to make some initial data set of the current history available, if I hack this up, minus all connections to the live data in the system (which is likely a bit more Rails and database whacking than I think I'd easily muster myself)?

  5. Tough question. I think I'd like to be able to mark authors whose comments I always want to see (unless they deleted a comment themselves, of course). That does not solve the generic problem, though.

  6. BBCode is more BBCode-literate-user-friendly than HTML, just as HTML is more HTML-literate-user-friendly than BBCode. If implemented, I hope it won't replace HTML.

  7. Had this not been posted by one of the site devs themselves, it would have made one of the least constructive ideas phrased so far. ;-) Somewhat more useful than "I want the site to be twelve percent better, or maybe fifteen". ^_^

  8. With http://userscripts.uservoice.com/suggestions/4669 I think we'd get full script history to version zero including commit messages and other context (even annotations on specific lines in the source code, if any user or developer feels like it), without doing all the work of implementing it on-site ourselves. Sounds like the ideal way of implementing this, IMO. ^_^
