That looks good.

We might separate description of a project from bzrweb-specific
configuration.

Some people have suggested that we should store a DOAP-like_ XML
description of a project in a tree; keeping it in XML might make it
easier for other tools to parse.  On the other hand I think one reason
why DOAP has not been taken up is that it's hard to read and write by
hand, so something simpler might be good.

So perhaps just

  <title>bazaar-ng</title>
  <shortdescription>...</shortdescription>
  <author>..</author>
</treedescription>

It's easy to recurse off into XML schema madness though; keeping it
simple is definitely good.
