Sorry for the delay, but just to connect the dots, the ideas we have at
Collabora for the upcoming release were entered in on the SugarLabs 0.84
wiki:
 http://sugarlabs.org/go/DevelopmentTeam/0.84/Ideas

But they were mostly as stated in my mail, and in Guillaume's talk at
the SugarCamp, namely:
 * Ensure Gadget is correctly integrated and deployed in Sugar so we can
   avoid the troublesome shared roster haxks on the XMPP server
 * Fix tubes so that peer to peer data is sent with peer to peer
   connections on the network where possible
 * Fix the way JIDs are allocated to be more coherent and based on the
   child's nickname (also would benefit a lot from having hierachical
   DNS naming on the school server so each JID is globally unique)
 * Expose JIDs in the UI and allow them to be typed in and approved by
   normal subscription requests, allowing collaboration with anyone
   whose JID you know
 * Implement the Telepathy file transfer spec to enable that feature in
   Sugar
 * Enable avatars in Sugar (although maybe not if we're doing link-local
   multicast on an XO mesh network) and maybe some UI for taking a photo
   and setting that as your avatar
