OK. In the Simile subversion repository, under fresnel I see a "trunk"
that runs with Sesame, and under "branches" I see "jena-base", and a
version that apparently runs under Jena. How do the two versions in CVS
compare? Is the Sesame version more complete, or are they roughly equal
in functionality and maturity?

Your sketch for modules A and B is roughly equivalent to what I'd
imagined. Our equivalent to module C will be the code that constructs
views in our MCV framework. (We're using Ruby on Rails, and sending data
from a Java component to Rails over XML-RPC. The Java component
interfaces with Jena; this is where the Fresnel processing will take
place.)

Quickly means, unfortunately, that in the couple few days I have to code
some quite basic lens functionality. Something I expect won't be too
hard (especially given that I'm not starting from scratch, but from an
existing codebase).
This is of course not a "request" for an implementation... I was just
wondering how whatever I do might best contribute to Fresnel development
in general.
When I have something to show I'll let you know, and if any of our work
is useful to you... After all, it's all free software...
