[Foundation-l] Formal request: Wikiversity project

[Andre Engels]

What exactly is the reason to get a separate wikiversity fot this, and
not make it a sub-project of Wikibooks? What can be done in
Wikiversity that would not be okay in Wikibooks? I am afraid that
splitting off will work negative rather than positive on the
contribution rate.
