[K12OSN] Wish list summary verison 0.0.1

[Eric Harrison]

Here are the initial wish-list items. Keep'em coming!

I've summarized items and put them in one of three categories:
1) stuff I'll do (K12LTSP projects), 2) stuff I'll help do (mostly
LTSP-core development), and 3) stuff I'll bug other people about
(Gnome/KDE/x.org/distro/etc enhancements).
