As far as I know, since there's already an en.wikiversity, there's no need
for a beta.wikiversity.

I don't know what the difference between Beta and Not-Beta in this
case is. Just a bunch of names to me.

That is the whole point I'm trying to make. I am fine with the idea
that Wikiversity is in "beta" mode as a demonstration of viability and
to avoid the mistakes that happened to Wikispecies (I won't get into
everything, but it was awful... slowly recovering and it might actually
get some progress finally).
The point is what to do with this beta server, as I don't see it serving
any useful purpose at all, and I don't think it will get the support
including strong admins that are needed for something that will be so
prominent. As I said, any group of individuals wanting to start
Wikiversity in a language other than en, de, or fr and can't get the
necessary 10 votes on meta should try the incubator instead. That is
precisely why it was set up in the first place BTW.
I will nominate it for closure on Meta as soon as it is started, if it
is started.
