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: the jbovlaste data and the jbovlaste interface. People complain about the data, especially misleading keywords/glosses. And AFAIK glosses are not baselined 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) and 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 such two people, but it's even harder (pe'i) to get a bigger project done without them.

I have some personal project (not Lojban-related) and as a single person I severely lack the second (the demanding), 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.
