:-D
Thanks for letting us know. You're the first to kick off this
process after en.wikipedia, so please keep us updated on how it
goes. That way everyone else will have a better idea of what to
expect, and LiAnna and I can document the process better for others.
Cheers,
Sage

Hi Sage, ty for information. Translation status in Macedonian
is 100%. I think that this extension can help to our
education program and I just start process/discussion at
mk.wikipedia.

I'm happy to answer what I can about
the extension.
You can see the translation status for it here:
http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:MessageGroupStats&langua…
(If your language isn't fully translated, you can translated
it at translatewiki.)
The extension has some fundamental technical shortcomings
related to the way MediaWiki handles the content of course
pages, and we're recommending that other wikis not start
using it until after those get fixed. For those interested
in the details, here is the tracking bug for that set of
problems:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43975 . All
the "Depends on" bugs are the issues that we're going to fix
within the next few months.
The look of the extension will also be upgraded in the next
few months. You can see a rough partial roadmap for what we
plan to work on here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Education_Program/Roadmap
(If you have ideas for it, please talk with me, post to this
mailing list, or add things to the ideas list at the bottom
of the roadmap.)
Even though we're suggesting the extension not be used for
more education programs until around August, you can--and
probably should--start the process soon if you think you'll
want it on your home wikis. The basic requirement before it
can be deployed is to demonstrate consensus on your wiki
that it is wanted. I did that on English Wikipedia with this
Request for Comment:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Education_Progr…
(You don't need to have an RfC as complicated as that one; a
simple "yes/no" discussion would suffice if you want the
default configuration.) If you begin this process, please
let me or LiAnna know (or better yet, post to this list) so
we can keep an eye on it and document how it goes so that
others can learn from it.
If you want to play around with the extension, you can do so
on
test2.wikimedia.org <http://test2.wikimedia.org>:
http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Courses Email me
with your username if you would like any of the user rights
on test2 so that you can create course pages, etc.
This page documents how we're using it on English Wikipedia,
including the "course page wizard" template I built to make
it easier to create decent course pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Course_pages (The
"course page wizard" is sort of a hack; later on, I hope to
build something more user-friendly into the extension itself.)
Cheers,
Sage

As far as I know, the MediaWiki Extension is still
under construction
(although it is possible to use it); someone
(probably LiAnna) said in
Milano that the final version should be available in
August 2013.
It's currently not internationalisable but they're
working on it (I've not seen a plan yet though).
