Hoi, I would like to qualify Wikihow not as a competition to WMF projects but as a welcome addition.. Remember we are all one Wiki movement :) Thanks, GerardM

I wouldn't say that a "how-to" is necessarily NPOV, although there are more ways to do something. But such a project can be realised already within Wikibooks.
How-to books are on Wikibooks mainly due to the long-ago viewpoint that Wikibooks ought to be an incubator project for all kinds of ideas that didn't quite fit on Wikipedia... and the Wikibooks community was generally willing to try them out for a time.
While I would still feel that Wikibooks would be an appropriate place for this kind of projects, I also think that Wikihow has taken hold in this area of knowledge. As a separate project it is valuable competition to Wikimedia projects.
