Title: Provide the script in human readable text format (.applescript)

> Provide the script in human readable text format (.applescript), therefore making it actually maintainable using Git.

Saving AppleScript in .scpt format saves all characters encoded, making the script only editable in Apple's AppleScript Editor. The format can't be diff'd, therefore defeating the point of having the code in a VCS in the first place. Templates should at least also be provided in a format Git can work with.

I hope OmniFocus is able to execute .applescript files directly, but haven't tried it. Some OS X apps can, some can't.
