It's more-or-less that; jbovlaste is written in a language framework
that no-one around here really likes, the original author is gone,
and I don't have the time. I've asked for help with it several
times, and been totally ignored.

I was talking about seperate things: t= he jbovlaste data and the jbovlaste interface. People complain about the da= ta, especially misleading keywords/glosses. And AFAIK glosses are not basel= ined and can be changed at any time, unlike gismu definitions. And yet they= stay the same.

I've also requested this many times. I gather Dag has done some
work here, but nothing worth showing off.

To complete such a project you need at= least two people: one who has the resources to do it (skill, time, will) a= nd another, who knows what they want from this project and can demand from = the former (which includes setting deadlines) and preferably has some power= over them (eg. by paying them for work).

It's not easy to get su= ch two people, but it's even harder (pe'i) to get a bigger project done wit= hout them.

I have some personal project (not L= ojban-related) and as a single person I severely lack the second (the deman= ding), and I'm focusing on projects in which I have someone demanding.

Well I hope my poor English didn't obscure my thoughts= too much here.
