Visibility... What's the status, how does one install it?

I've been following the screenshot thread for a while now and I would like try the visibility app, but I'm having a heck of a time finding any information about it.  I see that the AUR listing has been orphaned (abandoned?) and the website referenced there doesn't seem to have a lot of info (http://code.l3ib.org/). 

What's the best way to grab this app?

Thanks in advance!

i modified the visibility-svn pkgbuild, to use the git repository...
however i didn't uploaded it to aur.
this works for me:

# Contributor: Jens Adam (byte/jra) <j_adam@web.de>
# Contributor: Michael Thung <postlogic@37com.net>

pkgname=visibility-git
pkgver=123
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc='A pager best described as a cross between a pager and an iconbox'
url=http://projects.l3ib.org/visibility
license=GPL
arch=i686
makedepends=(autoconf automake pkgconfig git)
depends=(libpng libsigc++2.0 libxft)
conflicts=visibility
provides=visibility
install=${pkgname}.install
source=()
md5sums=()

_gitroot="git://code.l3ib.org/visibility.git"
_gitname="visibility"

build() {
  cd $startdir/src
  git clone $_gitroot      
  cd $_gitname 
  autoreconf
  ./configure --prefix=/usr/
  make DESTDIR=${startdir}/pkg/ install
  install -d ${startdir}/pkg/usr/share/visibility/
  install -m644 *.sample ${startdir}/pkg/usr/share/visibility/
  cp -R scripts/ themes/ ${startdir}/pkg/usr/share/visibility/
}
