Hi Brent,
This is really fascinating. I am studying Wikiversity from a participative standpoint and in the light of many of the theoretical/pedagogical strands you mention (Freire, Foucault, etc). My research page is at: < http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Developing_Wikiversity_through_action_researc..., userpage at: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Cormaggio, and blog at: < http://cormaggio.org%3E. You might also be interested in a paper that has been developed recently on Wikiversity: < http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Education_and_collaboration%3E (though which has also been compromised through a cut-and-paste move, leaving its discussion at: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:FLOSS_and_education).
I'd love to participate in some way in this - via the upcoming workshop, and/or through some sort of ongoing dialogue. I can also suggest Wikiversity as a space in which to do your research - though perhaps you have somewhere else that you would prefer?
Cheers,
Cormac
