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).
