QtJolie and remote widgets

[Fabrizio Montesi]

Hi there,
I'm in the middle of moving right now (will be more stable after the
1st of September, at my new work place), but I'd be glad to discuss
anything related to QtJolie (given that I'm the maintainer of the
Jolie interpreter) if questions about Jolie and/or MetaService arise.
