Yes.  And that's a very good idea for improving the Assignments tool.

The "sharing" I am referring to is related to the assignment
description...the name of the assignment, the instructions, etc. as a
way for teachers to collaborate on a set of department assignments
that meet department needs.

Very different than sharing student work done in response to those assignments.
