Thanks for a great start on this discussion Andrew. :-) Just a very brief comment for now...

<beginquote> The idea about expanding Wikibooks to encompass what Wikiversity would have become is an interesting one, although "wikiversity" sounds to me like more of a generalized learning resource then "wikibooks" does. That is, I think it is more intuitive that Wikiversity could be expanded to include textbooks then I do that Wikibooks could be expanded to include all sorts of "learning resources". <endquote>
It's interesting that there was an initial idea to have a "WikiUniversity" project, for which the textbook project would be its library. (See [1] and [2].) Then the textbook project took over and Wikiversity became a component, albeit an uneasy one. :-)
