I put the ssh server there, since jml mentioned on IRC that he had a
branch that extracted the SSH server from code hosting :)

Right. I didn't put anything application-specific in there. I wanted to
concentrate on the things that are (or should be) shared across
applications. I want it to list the things that are shared, and give
guidelines on what else should be shared.

Documenting the applications themselves would be good, but it's another
project. Of course, some documention will be there, since an overview of
how Launchpad works requires it.
