Hello,
I'm *very* interested in this new project. I think it's an outstanding idea
because it might offer the benefit of a college-level education to people
who don't usually have access to that. That being said, how can I find out
more about the project and what I can do to help.

I went in and checked the prices of college
textbooks at the BYU
bookstore. The books cost almost as much as the tuition, church funded
or not. UofU bookstore is the same. Why shouldn't we be able to create a
business around the Foundation Wikiversity Programs? I might be able to
swing this one. I'll work on it next week and let everyone know what I
find out.
