Yes.

Generalistic softwares (word processor, productivity tools), and
tools for the school's intranet. But I'm familiar with free educational
software for linux in general.

I expect an improved installer, which could :
- Interactively partition the hard drive easily
- Set up the most common peripherals (CD Rom burner, printer,
modem and internet access).
- Choose between an installation for a stand alone work station,
or a client for the school network, and in this case, set up
interoperability with NIS / NFS or LDAP, the latter to communicate with
network solutions like SLIS ( http://slis.ac-grenoble.fr/ ) or SambaEdu (
http://www.crdp.ac-caen.fr/sambaclg/ ) which will be more and more used in
French schools in a near future.
These are for me the major lacks in the french Debian Education
installer. Excuse me if these wishes are trivial :), there are really
obvious from my point of view.

I have coordinated the works around the French Debian Education
distro, for the educationnal part, and I maintain the site which is in my
signature, integrated on the desktop of the distro. Logidee (who realized
this work, with Raphael) started to package educational softwares
mentionned on this site to build Debian Educ, we wrote the specifications
together (mostly on IRC :) ), and I have assured the communication between
Logidee and the workgroup of teachers who recensed and wrote tutorials for
the softwares, for the technological and industrial survey mission of
French national center of documentation (http://www.cndp.fr/ ).
I'm really happy to see that these two years working together have
lead us to a real distribution realeased last spring (more than 3000
downloads and diffusion in the press), and I hope that the integration of
this work in Debian will be profitable.
Cheers,
