Great! =)

Yeah, but we still need to write it... Urs, maybe we should do that before 
4.3. ;) (Should also be a good training for school at least for me ;))

Yep, it's still on my TODO if it doesn't get picked... I'm just a bit spare on 
time currently, too many projects and too much to do in real-life...

But maybe I can work on the Nepomuk-Task during the Nepomuk-Developer-Sprint, 
which I will most probably attend. =)

Verification stuff shouldn't be hard as well...

Bug 158816 needs some work though, I think we should get the DataSourceFactory 
done for it, and a working backend for it... I surely need Manolo for that. :( 
(he seems very busy these days :/)
