The original plan we had was to use Jolie.

According to the coherence website (http://coherence.beebits.net/):

Coherence in written in Python, and currently tested against version 2.4
and 2.5
  * profits from the excellent event-driven networking framework Twisted
  * needs ElementTree for its XML processing (included in Python 2.5)
  * uses Louie for signal dispatching (included inside Coherence
    beginning with 0.5.8)
  * ConfigObj (optional with version 0.5, due to the new XML
    configuration file format)
  * Divmods Nevow (optional, for all the WebUI html, together with
    Athena for the AJAX bells and whistles)
  * ctypes (optional, included in Python 2.5, for the MediaServer file
    system backend)
  * GStreamer (optional, for the MediaRenderer backend)

The 'optional' stuff is quite optional in my view of what we need for
KDE.

I realise (or at least: assume) there is a lot of overlap with for
example Jolie.

Hm, it might be best if I first draft a plan, where I explain what needs
to be done. Any objections against ASCII art? :-)
