My client would like to have the following capabilities on her WP site (which also has WishList installed):
1. Allow contributors/members to upload files (assignments in progress) and have them appear on the site as a post. My client would then be able to edit the post or make comments.
2. Have a resource library where the final assignments can be posted.
Is this even possible? I have a plug-in called Upload Widget that gives a form to upload files and I have set up an upload directory, but I think that would mean some manual labor to get these uploads actually into WP.
Thanks for any help you can give!

I'm not aware of any way (that doesn't mean there's not a plugin out there, I just haven't used it) to only allow someone to upload files but not create new posts. You could potentially create a new custom post type that only has the Featured Image feature (no title or editor, etc.) and allow contributors to create those; but then I'm not sure how the admin would add content to them.
On a slightly different tip, though, you could look at BuddyPress. You might be able to get it working similarly to the way you want.

Thanks for the quick reply, Curtiss.
I haven't used BuddyPress before, but notice one of the features they have is called Group Documents. So, that may just work. I'll give it a try.
