One thing I'd like to see...and this is a broad issue and encompasses LTSP
as well....and that is to get a better handle on sound and video.  It's a
bit difficult to get all the pieces working for a decent classroom
multi-media experience...especially for newbies.  ALSA, OSS, ESD, NASD,
ARTS...etc.   Much of that means little to the average IT guy just
learning about Linux and Edubuntu....it'd be nice if maybe a more
standardized approached to sound and video in Edubuntu might be possible. 
I've heard a lot of good things about Pulse Audio.
