The Edubuntu/WikiSite is part of my proposal to restructure the site. 
It's like my little playground in which I try to order and structure the 
Wiki information.

All user documentation should go to help.ubuntu.com. We are in the 
process of moving all user contributed documentation to help.ubuntu.com

help.ubuntu.com is an entirely different wiki. Some info on how to 
create a wiki page (style guide) can be found here 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide/Style

I would name the page something like LTSPGUIInstallLocalApps and just 
dump it in help.ubuntu.com

However, if you are somehow unsure, and like to have other have a look 
at it first, you might want to put it in
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Edubuntu/WikiSite/Incoming/NameOfYourWikiPage

Then you can call for review and move it later to help.ubuntu.com

Keep up the good work, David!
