I think that WikiU sounds great because:
* Communicates immediately what the site is about * Simple and easy to remember for newbies * Should be usable in other languages (at least its real short even if the letter "U" means nothing in a language)
And it makes sense to me to include WikiBooks as a subdomain of this site. ( books.wikiu.org ?)
The fact that universities are only one part of the learning structure that includes notably K-12 should not be a big problem. Universities represent the highest end of the chain. (Maybe we could have subdomains for different levels of school if that is what users demand.)
Question: will non fiction but non-textbook books be hosted here ?
