Package request - Lookit

Hello dear Arch users,

Lookit is a screenshot utility for Linux that allows quick capturing and uploading of screenshots for easy sharing.

If you're familiar with tinygrab for OSX, then you know what lookit is about. Lookit is a small application that sits in your systray and allows you to take screenshots of the whole desktop, a section of your screen or the active window easily and uploads it directly to your ftp server, imgur or omploader and pastes the link to your clipboard.

There is a aur package, called indicator-lookit but it is outdate for months now. A new version was released, and I thought that maybe other arch users might be interested and that a good sir would be willing maintain this app. I'd do it, but I am not familiar with making aur packages.

Project Site

AUR package - outdated

EDIT: I forgot the link to the project. Added.

Re: Package request - Lookit

Could be your chance to learn - it's not hard to get familiar with package building, and starting with an existing package eases you in gently.

BTW, it is customary to include links, as required - in this case, the lookit website and the AUR package.
