Well, at this stage of the project I've only got few items on
my TODO list:

- figure out why network routing to unprivileged domains
   does not work right (probably a config option)
- teach grubby to make xen + xenolinux bootable entries
   in grub.conf
- get Xen packages into rawhide
- talk with the installer people, to figure out the best
   way of allowing anaconda to install a virtual host

Once these things are done, IMHO the Xen development should
happen in the upstream Xen community, which is where I hope
to help out.

One of the things I would like to do there is work on the
light-weight Xen daemon x2d2, which should allow Fedora
developers to run a lighter-weight guest 0, with more memory
remaining for their unprivileged guests - good for developers
who want to run every version of Fedora on their build system. ;)
