Paul,
I like your thought on sharing java objects between Sakai and XWiki. The
benefits and enhanced capabilities could be significant. There is an
Entity Broker in Sakai used for purposes of sharing objects between tools
that we could use. We are looking closer into this and perhaps even a
proof of concept where we might access, for example, the Assignment tool
and access the grades for a given student that will get rendered with the
custom data for the user visiting the assignment wiki page.
Once we get our initial investigation done I will explore the interest
with the Sakai community. My guess is there will be a lot of interest in
this capability.

Correct, see http://curriki.xwiki.org for more details.
It's clearly complementary to Sakai: a repository is to serve a large
population while an LMS is meant to be institution specialized.

I do agree the granularity of fine grained permissions
in XWiki is very
flexible. We just had to manage the mapping of Sakai user/group roles,
that are specific to Sakai (course) sites, and expose the granular
permissions of XWiki.
In your comment there was one thing I wasn't clear on about providing
queries/reports on Sakai LMS data. Are there specific ways in which
XWiki
can help with that process? Within Sakai there are
some reporting
tools,
but there is still desire to improve on the data
collected and provide
better tracking tools.
Correct, XWiki has a fairly deep programming model, at entry level using
velocity, a bit deeper with Groovy, and far deeper with java. All three
layers can be published in a web-fashion.
My scenario was fo a teacher to invite a "helping coder" (it could even be
a consulting company) that would write dedicated reports that would use
the Sakai objects to report in a more dedicated fashion. This would
support learning analytics to become heavily learning scenario specific.
For this to work, I would consider it easier for Sakai and XWiki to share
some java objects, which is probably easy.

Note that Curriki is available as separate software, so it's not
necessarly about the K-12 content of Curriki.org.
Curriki could be used as the software as a content repository.
