As a relevant update --
"During a planning sprint in Seattle, Sage and LiAnna laid the
foundation for digital infrastructure improvements. Supported by an
additional $300K grant provided by the Stanton Foundation, Wiki Ed
will transform its Assignment Design Wizard and Dashboard into a fully
functional course management system. This will be independent of the
EducationProgram MediaWiki extension that we’ve used for course pages
until now, and will let us move past current limitations of
Wikipedia’s course pages."

This is a real world example of an affiliate organization taking
what's currently a integrated but poorly maintained MediaWiki
extension and committing to re-thinking it as a stand-alone tool that
uses our APIs. I'd love to see something similar happen with GWT.
