One of the suggestions I have made is that when the
time comes for
Wikiversity to be "seperated" from Wikibooks, that Wikiversity simply
duplicate the Wikibooks database and let the editors on Wikiversity have
a fun time culling the Wikibooks-only content, with of course moving the
"Wikiversity" page to "Main Page" and some other minor housecleaning
items. It might even be worth while to simply copy the user database as
well in this situation, and have a steward simply desysop and sysop the
new admins/bureaucrats for Wikibooks.
I think the above is a fairly brilliant suggestion that will make
everyone much more productive than trying to "transwiki" page by page
and fix all links. It embodies the inherent wisdom of the like it, lump
it, or fork it of the typical volunteer driven open/free content
project. Proponents can all do as they please and see what works on
their project or task. Opponents can be encouraged to go back to their
personal proponent space. If naysayers are brilliant enough in their
analysis, presentation, and real politicking they can be embraced and
extended into local proponents or encouraged to duplicate enough effort
such that it is clear how participants wish to vote with their feet.
