I may be misremembering, but I don't recall an
explicit and narrow
requirement that Wikibooks be "educational" when it was set up, and
certainly not "educational" in the narrow sense of "something that a
university would teach". Of course textbooks were a major sort of
book that people had in mind, but I don't recall anyone saying that
*only* textbooks would be permitted (not to mention defining what
constitutes a "textbook"!).
Some empirical evidence for this:
-- The "about" page has never said it is limited to
textbooks---textbooks are only one part of the list of things that
Wikibooks is for
-- Some of the earliest Wikibooks are non-textbook but informational
books, such as videogame walkthroughs
