I'm working on this exact setup as we speak. I wrote an XAPI querystring
parser in ANTLR (https://github.com/iandees/xapi-antlr) and plan on writing
the rest of the server piece tonight while I wait for a planet to import
into an EC2 instance. I'd be happy to have help -- if you're interested let
me know before I pick a language to use in the next 6 hours or so.
