You state:
"There's little doubt that as my children get older, the ability to work with various kids of media will become increasingly important, so I've already begun getting them acclimated. All three regularly use the GIMP to edit pictures. My middle son -- a budding film director -- produces weekly movies with Kino. My oldest uses Serpentine to create audio CDs to use during music lessons. The native sound recorder helps us make homegrown podcasts where we discuss what they've learned recently. We burn them to a CD and include it in their lesson portfolios and the records we keep for the state."
Later on you also mention your kids creating books and covers - do you consider sharing them with other home-/unschooling families? Why and why not?
