Paul,
We looked closer at referencing Sakai entities within XWiki and found that
there is an easy way to include not only Sakai resources, but to also
include links to other Sakai tools (e.g. assignments, forums, ...) from
the FCKEditor. The Sakai FCKEditor has a javascript plugin that allows
access to Sakai's Entity Broker which allows references to other Sakai
tools and properties.
This enables a wiki page author to include references to resources and
other entities within Sakai.

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.
