Looks pretty good. I'm glad development is not abandoned.

Not sure I like the fact that you get the dialog rather than the script 
source when navigating to e.g. 
http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/1.user.js. I often want to look at 
a script's source source rather than install it, and though you can peek 
at the source in the dialog, that window is a bit small for extended 
reading (though resizable).

Then again, I suppose anything where you'd see the source first and 
click for installation would be more of a hassle for end users. I 
suppose they may appreciate having the actual code abstracted away a 
bit, too.

It seems http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/1.user.js# (with a hash) 
still shows the script source in the browser (but without any 
installation chrome). If you leave this workaround in, I suppose one 
could write a script to add "view source" links to userscripts.org. ;)
