I don't believe Wikiversity was ever intended to be "only teaching"
but about learning more generally - and that includes research.
I would like to see what it is that Wikiscience offers that is
substantively different (technically or practically) from the already
established wikiversity. Perhaps these "other functionalities" in the
future will indeed do that, I don't know.
But, generally speaking, I would have thought it was preferred to
have less projects with wider scope rather than a multitude of
projects with very narrow scope.

so what?
Uh... from the front page: "Wikiversity is a Wikimedia Foundation
project
devoted to learning resources and learning projects for all levels,
types, and
styles of education from pre-school to university, including
professional
training and informal learning."
That is something complety different. The focus is on learning/
teaching, not on
research. And it's for learning about anything, not focused on
researching
wikis. Cooperation with Wikiversity is of course a good idea, but
it's be no
means redundant.
