I wish I was going, but other commitments prevent me from making it. :( I've had this on my todo list for a while, but let me just dump what needs to be done (other than those in http://is.gd/16An) 1) The mapping between Xesam and Beagle ontologies (Fields/Sources/Contents) should be moved into a configuration file (XML file in /etc/beagle/ seems most reasonable). This will allow modifications to the mapping without recompiling/ 2) The adaptor is up-to-date (other than the issues in the ISSUES file) w.r.t. 0.9 RC1. Subsequent changes which are documented on http://xesam.org need to be incorporated. This shouldn't be too hard. It's best to test against Mikkel's test suite in the xesam-tools package. 3) It's probably a good time to move the adaptor into Beagle proper. The lower the barrier to getting a Xesam server going, the better the chance of clients adopting the spec, etc. Let me know if there's any bit of the code that doesn't make sense (:D).
