So I grabbed the SVN, which produced nothing interesting in the top
level directory, guessed I wanted "book", there was a readme in there,
told me I could run make, and I did.  It sat there for three minutes
"validating the book" before I gave up and killed it.  Looked at the
readme some more, it said I could do "make nochunks", which i did, and
it started validating xml again.  Killed it, opened up the makefile,
searched for nochunks, it didn't have an obvious dependency on
validating (oh great, another crawling makefile horror) searched for the
"Validating the book" string, put an echo in front of its targets, that
did nothing, searched again and found a SECOND instance of this, put an
echo in front of THOSE targets, and then make nochunks died with:

Generating profiled XML for XHTML...
warning: failed to load external entity "tmp/blfs-full.xml"
unable to parse tmp/blfs-full.xml
make: *** [tmp/blfs-html.xml] Error 6

That was about the limit of my interest for the moment.  I have a guess
why you have no new developers.
