I'm more interested in what a modern jargon file would look like. (Don't even dare mention Raymonds version.) It's obvious to me that if you were to start today, it would make the most sense to start from scratch. You could probably even find them automatically with a script that searches for non-dictionary words. Any that show up often enough could be considered for entry into the new file. [0]
The main issue would be figuring out what counts as a hacker community, and what communities to grab words from.
[0]: Of course, this wouldn't catch words that have been re-purposed from their standard dictionary usage.
