I would suggest a one click install or something similar for LibreOffice amd stick with 1GB. Alternatively, if there are enough testers, produce a version of Xubuntu with LibreOffice (maybe called XubuntuOffice :)). 
With the prevalence of Google Docs and Office 365, is there a need for most people to have LibreOffice installed locally? 

Thanks,
Micah
