Jeffrey:

Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in
the sum of all knowledge.

Wikiversity and PlanetMath use the same license.  Yes, they compete
for "mind-share" but the content on one can be used on the other.  In
this sense they are potential collaborators, and
non-mutually-exclusive alternatives for the OP.  Indeed, we talked at
length about this kind of use in a grant proposal to the WMF:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/PlanetMath_Books_Project

The proposal was not successful, partly for reasons similar to ones
you mention - reviewers and community members felt, "This is great for
PlanetMath, but does it really support Wikimedia projects in a
concrete way?"  But this does not mean that the idea behind the
proposal was wrong!  What I think it means is that IF this sort of
proposal is to be successful in the future, the people (like me)
working on external free/open projects will need to create a
collaboration with members of the Wikimedia community.  If we can
create and work in the overlap then it is likely to be for the benefit
of all.  If you disagree with me about this, that's fine, but, please,
since there is NOT a rule against having a discussion about this sort
of thing, or about talking about other potentially supportive projects
in this mailing list, I would appreciate it if you do not try to take
it upon yourself to end this discussion, but instead, please DO
consult with the mailing list owners, so that they can, if necessary,
step in and clarify the rules.
