SSH and the Server Guide

I know that it's been a while since I was working on the docs, but I'm 
quickly getting back into the swing of things.  While attempting to set 
up SSH and RSA keys, I found that I was quite disappointed and perplexed 
by the way the SSH documentation was written.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AdvancedOpenSSH

Then I noticed:

https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html

So I started trying to clean up the existing docs, merging them 
together.  Eventually, I would like to see these combined into the 
ServerGuide if there are no objections?

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/marckaplan/ssh/publickeys

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/marckaplan/ssh/putty

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/marckaplan/ssh/cygwin

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/marckaplan/ssh/X11forwarding (this is what I 
know the least about so I would really appreciate some assistance if 
anyone could help out. )

If you know the material, but aren't that great of a writer, just put 
the information in and let me know.  I'd be happy to clean it up.

My goal/idea is combine all necessary SSH and Shell documentation within 
a single category, if there are no objections.  I'm sure I'm missing 
some articles and would welcome some suggestions to help streamline our 
docs.

Examples of articles that are unnecessary:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerUsers
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cshell
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AdvancedCommandlineHowto

Do we have enough time to do this before Jaunty's release or is it 
wishful thinking?
