Averaging over a Weinstein groupoid?

(Not sure if this question belongs here or on m.SE) For a Lie group, $G$ (of dimension $n$), one can average over the group: $$ \Gamma = \int_{G} d\mu(g) ~g $$ (where $d\mu(g)$ is the left-Haar ...

Is there a classifying space for transitive Lie algebroids? If so, what is it?

Let $M$ be a manifold. The data of a Lie groupoid over $M$ is equivalent to the data of a singular foliation $M=\sqcup\mathcal{F}_i$ and, for each $i$, a map (mod homotopy) $f_i:F_i\to BG_i$ (where $...
