(dumping an e-mail reply here)

I've got it working again with
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/28380/. The breakage only had to do
with an incorrect understanding of the very misunderstood and almost
unused QuickTemplate class. I replaced $this->msg with wfMessage, and
should have replaced with echo wfMessage.

I've found Collection uses a fair bunch of legacy globals, which
translatewiki.net no longer had enabled, which caused JavaScript
breakage. Furthermore, saving books wasn't documented at
Extension:Collection. I added some docs about the two userrights
associated with it. I've successfully downloaded a PDF and I've
successfully previewed a PDF from PediaPress.

Now I'm running into issues trying to re-use saved books. Once I've
test that successfully, I think my patch can be merged. I need help
getting that done.

http://sandbox.translatewiki.net/wiki/Project:Books/SM_Book_Community
has a link "For re-use click here load book". That's the text of
http://sandbox.translatewiki.net/wiki/Template:Saved_book. I had a
look at the template from Dutch language Wikipedia for that, but I
didn't get it to work using the link.

Please help...

P.s. I think PediaPress should keep maintaining Collection actively.
It doesn't do that at the moment, and that leads to it being
maintained through a multi-month effort like mine to bring 150+
extensions back into 2012. If you ensure that you give your extension
a few hours of love every month, you will be able to avoid the --
absolutely unintentional -- breakages too.
