I don't remember when I did it, but I downloaded the "source" for the jargon file, and was wanting to make it so it could build again. I remember trying to get it to build a long time ago and it would fail to build for various dumb reasons. ESR's tarball is missing a handful of scripts that the build scripts use, and there are some typos or broken xml in a few of the files. I fixed them as well as I could and commit'd all the changes I was making into a git repo, so if someone wants to pick up the jargon file using ESR's build system, they wouldn't have to redo this work. I also found that there were a few sections in the tarball that aren't included in the live version on ESR's website.
