The Turtle test suite situation is currently a bit of a mess. There's the tests-ttl suite, the coverage suite, the old test suite from the team submission [1], and some additions scattered about various implementations. Each of these needs to be run in subtly different ways. There is also serious areas of the new spec that are not covered at present, and various miscellaneous trivial issues. I would like to volunteer to merge the three suites, fix the issues, and add new tests to cover the missing areas, if it is agreed that merging them is appropriate (I think a single consistent test suite with good coverage is at least highly desirable, and probably should be considered a requirement for standardization) In order to do this, the licensing issues of test-ttl/manifest.ttl brought up by Dave Beckett [2] will need to be resolved, and perhaps test-ttl/LICENSE is a problem as well. Otherwise I see no barriers (and licensing problems for things like this is silly, really) Other than that, I will just wait for some confirmation that a unified/improved/extended test suite is desired before building it. It shouldn't be too much work (I have done some of it already) or take long, but if upstream won't follow suit I will not merge them since the divergence would make pulling a diff impossible.
