yep, I think this is one of the most important aspects. If we can I'd
like to get this on the homepage

yeah, the wiki is for developers and so it should be developer-friendly as well

Spec define major chunks of Edubuntu development. Approved specs that
haven't been implemented yet are *prime* targets for a new
contributor. Additionally, the specs for the current devel release is
how we can track Edubuntu development and a great way to do status
tracking. I wish we could get a bit better as a volunteer community at
doing specs.
