(There is perhaps something to be said about the disconnect between people
who regularly use clubroom equipment and people on this list, but I don't
have anything constructive to add. There are people who are actively
trying to overcome that gap.)

More things to fix:

The terminals outside don't work any more since I decomissioned (i.e.
ripped out) the coax network. There are two solutions being considered:
bridging LAT to the clubroom VLAN, or setting up one of the serial
servers we acquired from the library (Lantronix ETS8P).

The plotter's LCD screen is not working, and IP printing doesn't want to
work (not sure why). My temporary solution was to sling a 10M parallel
cable over the clubroom wall and plug it in to the back of Mussel; now
that it's virtualised I'm guessing that won't work anymore without
further configuration.

As for things that are not actively broken, the Wiki has a semi-useful
list:
