[Greasemonkey] barriers to entry

[Neil Kandalgaonkar]

There are 10,000+ inbound links to the page about my Flickr-modifying GM 
script. And it's only been downloaded 2700 times.

I don't know what to make of this.

a) my instructions suck? I'm not sure. The page could be friendlier.

b) it got picked up on some 'sideblog' syndication feeds, which just 
appear on pages automatically.

c) there are a large audience of people who find such scripts 
interesting, but not interesting enough to actually take the trouble to 
install GM and then download another script.

Maybe user scripting should just be baked into Mozilla (as it is in Opera).
