Some brief recap about Jolie from the "horse", as aaron puts it. ;)

Jolie doesn't do UPnP, true. Kevin's suggestion was to implement UPnP as a 
Jolie protocol, so that Jolie could orchestrate ("connect the pieces 
together") natively. However there is currently no manpower to do this; it can 
always be made in the future or even be implemented using coherence as a 
backend (though that would introduce a dependency, but hey).

Bye,
Fabrizio.
