Thanks to Romaine for his comment: "The education extension is a primitive form of what is needed. We need an extension where users easily can form groups (namespace Groups: or something, used by an extension), where they easily can see the recent changes of edits of group members only, to be able to actively interact with other group members and having a long term participation in Wikipedia. Having software where users, interest groups or a group of editors from an external organisation can work together."
At Wikimedia UK we are looking at taking this up in broader context, editathons etc. and it would be great to hear of other peoples experiences and their views.
