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.
