This page for Edgy <a href="https://launchpad.net/sprints/uds-paris/+specs" title="launchpad.net">https://launchpad.net/sprints/uds-paris/+specs</a launchpad.net><nobr> <wbr></nobr>...certainly outlines some planned for advancements that the participants desire to see in Edgy. Once some of these are done (like all the LTSP improvements) then Edubuntu and Ubuntu, etc need to be released for 3 year and 5 year support.
Some could even be expanded:
The Xubuntu project should be working closely with LTSP in *buntu as any lighter Xubuntu should serve a dual roll as LTSP diskless or disk based Fatter-Thin Client for local LTSP Multi-media needs. Xubuntu testing only uses slightly less RAM than Ubuntu and Kubuntu right now... Going to lighter (even 32 MB RAM) PCs or thin/fatter clients should be a goal that is well received. Integrating the LTSP and Xubuntu parts of the *buntu efforts from the ground floor up.
This LTSP thin and fat effort then needs to be coordinated with FreeNX for mobile wireless (down to 9600 baud) desktops or Palmtops with some multi-media uses (where other more processor intensive services off-loaded to LTSP or FreeNX servers, such as voice inflection recongnition, etc could be handled on other than local Palm or portable devices that will never be strong enough to handle this... meaning a OpenMosix server involvement would need to be brought into the LTSP, FreeNX, Xubuntu, local thin or fatter app client as well for the heavier lifting that is beyond the scope of the power of local hardware resources)! LTSP or FreeNX from palmtop or portable phone device all the way up to Cluster side support for remote apps on portable local devices should be the complete goal... then, everything in between, including Xubuntu, will fit (if the upper and lower extremes are taken care of then it is obvious that any deployment in the middle could use any of those parts to some advantage).
