 It would be nice.

 You tell me. :-/

 This is, IMHO, an eligible Debian-edu or Skolelinux project.
The scope could be a bit wider, though:  Setting up gateways
and proxies, bundling GnomeMeeting with IRC or IM, using 
sharded desktops and remote whiteboards, etc.

 If GnomeMeeting has reasonable hooks for invoking helper
applications, such integration is doable, without rewriting.
