I uploaded the the gobby sessions for
user-contributed-package-metadata and
non-applications-in-software-center to
http://dev.launchpad.net/SoftwareCenter .
The second one is relevant to Launchpad, since it discusses how a user
doesn't really benefit from seeing every single package in software
center, and that brings up the question of how we map ratings and
reviews to some kind of higher level package. Maybe, source packages
in Launchpad are the right level above binary packages to represent as
an application in software-center, but I would imagine that it is not.
