That sounds like a plan. In the meantime I have started 2 threads on the 
marketing discussion list:

LibO in Academia
LibO in Education (JK-High School and NOT post grad.    university/college)

I am interested on how to market the LibO suite in education and taking 
inventory of the missing tools required to make it a good solid option 
for its use in the educational field.

I am a teacher and I actively promote the OOo/LibO Suite both at the 
student level (this is working quite well -- approx. 100 of my students 
are now using OOo at the primary level in a school of approx. 350 
students) as well as at the educational IT/corporate level (this is NOT 
working well as MSOffice has a strong foothold and IT is still refusing 
to recognize the .odt as a viable document format ... as well as any 
other OASIS format.)

I am hoping that a greater use of the .odt format by students will 
eventually force IT to adopt its format in some way.
