Yes, very much.

I tried understanding the system for a while and it turned out to be 
more complex than necessary to implement simple things like forms and 
custom actions.

Yes, but I found that the method was a bit trickier which involved 
creating non-editable pages and posting content to it and what I was 
looking for is some service which needs minimal configuration and 
everything is built into it.

Severe dependance on mediawiki code.

True.

I have already made progress with the new code by creating a MVC 
architecture out of bottle and started using Google charts API. One such 
toy examples I was working with is this http://i.imgur.com/5wk28.png 
which actually shows the different machines used.

I want to build a webservice in the end. Though I could not come up with 
something with mediawiki, I plan to write an extendable framework for 
the same and I am pretty close to realizing that. I have the base layout 
ready and I am writing the charting helpers which are wrappers over 
Google charts API. These helpers create the js code and embed into the 
webpage which calls the google API to render them.
