They don't have the time or resources to continue to support it. As an experienced individual approaching J for the first time, I've found Reiter's book to be quite tasty. It lets me experience actual and interesting results, in ways that seem to be rather consistent with how J is really used. As such, I think the book can be a valuable resource for newcomers. To serve that need, however, the examples need to work as shown. I believe it would be a great service if it could be carried forward. As it stands, a noob is pretty much stopped dead when an example doesn't work. I would help if I could. At the moment I'm too dumb to do much more than whimper.
