Specially the book, it's very detailed and comprehensive.

Yes, I am looking to build the 'development environment', specially the
ASLO server but I am facing some issues. since sphinx is very old and
cannot be compiled (using make) properly. Wanted to know if there is
someone who maintains the ASLO and  can answer this specific query, related
to building ASLO locally and getting started on it

Thanks,
Jatin Dhankhar
