 <title>GUPnP</title>
 
-<p>GUPnP is an object-oriented open source framework for creating UPnP devices and control points,
-written in C using GObject and libsoup. The GUPnP API is intended to be easy to use, efficient and
-flexible.</p>
 
-<p>The GUPnP framework consists of the following components/packages:</p>
+  <p>
+    Many "consumer electronics" devices that can make use of a house's local
+    network support device and service discovery via a protocol called UPnP
+    (Universal Plug and Play).  GUPnP lets GNOME applications discover UPnP
+    devices on the network, and publish services themselves.
+  </p>
 
-<list>
+  <p>
+    DLNA is a set of standards that let devices share multimedia content in
+    standard formats.  GUPnP can also perform DLNA-related tasks such as media
+    profile guessing, transcoding to a given profile, etc.
+  </p>
 
-<item><p>GSSDP: The low-level library implementing resource discovery and announcement on the
-network through SSDP protocol.</p></item>
+  <p>
+    In GNOME, GUPnP is one of the basic building blocks of home-multimedia
+    software like Rygel, a home media server.
+  </p>
 
-<item><p>GUPnP: The core library that implements the UPnP specification: resource announcement and
-discovery, description, control, event notification, and presentation (GUPnP includes basic web
-server functionality through libsoup). GUPnP does not include helpers for construction or control of
-specific standardized resources (e.g. MediaServer); this is left for higher level libraries
-utilizing the GUPnP framework.</p></item>

-<item><p>GUPnP A/V: A small utility library that aims to ease the handling and implementation of
-UPnP A/V profiles.</p></item>

-<item><p>GUPnP DLNA: A small utility library that aims to ease the DLNA-related tasks such as media
-profile guessing, transcoding to a given profile, etc.</p></item>

-
-<item><p>GUPnP Vala: Vala bindings for GUPnP libraries.</p></item>
-
-<item><p>GUPnP Tools: Free replacements of Intel UPnP tools, that use GUPnP. They provides the
-following client and server side tools which enable one to easily test and debug one's UPnP devices
-and control points:</p>
-
-<list>
-
-<item><p>Universal Control Point: a tool that enables one to discover UPnP devices and services,
-retrieve information about them, subscribe to events and invoke actions.</p></item>
-
-<item><p>Network Light: a virtual light bulb that allows control points to switch it on and off,
-change its dimming level and query its current status. It also provides a simple UI to control all
-the network lights available on the network.</p></item>
-
-<item><p>AV Control Point: a simple media player UI that enables one to discover and play multimedia
-contents available on a network. It is strictly a control point and therefore does not have any
-playback capabilities of it's own and relies on external UPnP MediaRenderer devices for actual
-playback.</p></item>
-
-<item><p>Upload: a simple commandline utility that uploads files to known MediaServers. Use
-Universal Control Point for discovering the MediaServers.</p></item>

-
-<p>The GUPnP framework was born out of frustration with libupnp and its mess of threads. GUPnP is
-entirely single-threaded (though asynchronous), integrates with the GLib main loop, and provides the
-same set of features as libupnp while hiding most of the UPnP internals through an elegant
-object-oriented design.</p>
-
-<p>GUPnP is free software. All libraries are released under the GNU LGPL, while GUPnP Tools are
-licensed under GNU GPL.</p>
-
-<p>You should use GUPnP whenever you need your code to communicate with any UPnP or DLNA devices.
-Examples of such devices includes Sony Playstation 3 and Bravia model TVs, Samsung TVs and phones, Microsoft XBox and all modern router etc. The list of such devices is huge and its increasing.</p>
-
-<p>Apart from dealing with existing UPnP devices, GUPnP can very effectively be used to easily
-create custom home network solutions where devices/services are able to discover and interact with
-each other without any configuration from user.</p>
