Well there is a difference between TU and developer, I'm not saying that it's not required to be good at coding and consequent about organizing a PGBUILD, what I'm saying is that we should embrace the enthusiasm and dedication by people who want to contribute and serve the community the best way they can. So the requirements should be much tougher as developer than TU. Please reconsider Jens as a TU, not as what he *is*, but what he can *be *.

One thing, mkdir is not something bad to use, I use it all the time, and install isn't also not required, since the developers of install command argue that a package manager should be used instead of install, so what's the big deal here? I mean as long as the code is working, why should it be that much trouble to maintain a package. Are we code "fascists" here?
Isn't about "code fascism" is about to do our best effort, working code isn't enough, in fact is average, but install vs cp + mkdir is always a suggestion that many people had in their applications, and it wasn't the point to be rejected.
In my point of view, Jens should prepare a better application, explaining what are they goals, why he wants to become a TU, and how he will benefit AUR and community, that's all.
For Jens: Better luck the next time, and don't feel dissapointed, try to focus on a better application next time, ;)
Cheers!
