I second that vote, Ace.  I think you picked a very logical first
step.  The Specs list what features should be included.  These can be
cleaned and refined.  They seem to set the expectations for what
Edubuntu will or will not do.

For instance, the first spec, "ActiveDirectoryIntegration" could be
deleted. It is possible to add a client to an AD domain.  Now if this
spec is to include an AD server, perhaps via the smbldap scripts, in
Edubuntu, then I definitely say remove it because that spreads our
focus way too wide.
