I'm refactoring "Xenstore" (part of the control-plane for a Xen host) to use it. I want to make the server stateless so I can restart it if it crashes.. this mainly involves remembering lots of bits of state: connection information, watch registration, pending events etc. I also want to make it easier to debug while I'm at it.

I've got a draft of a blog post here: https://github.com/djs55/mirage-www/blob/a1ab2fec78fa7d96c64...

This work is a natural evolution of the "OXenstored" work presented at ICFP 2009 http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~apt/icfp09_accepted_papers/83.html
