I just wanted to mention [1] and [2]: In our last meeting (which took 
already place some time ago, maybe we should have one very soon), the 
Education SIG talked about the possibility of having a sugar-based 
education spin - [1] is the log. I have drawn up a roadmap [2], which 
also lists that possibility. At the time we had this meeting, we did 
some testing, but there were quite few Sugar / OLPC packages in 
Fedora... maybe all this helps to improve the situation there.
