So I guess the need for some kind of targetted rules based ecp or 
workflow modification review is emerging?

This can possibly be prototyped manually via procedures before beginning 
the mind boggling programming and adminstrative challenge of upgrading 
or shifting the entire knowledge base to the new system.   Wikiversity 
is a good place for prototyping because it is new and emerging and as 
soon as we get approvel from the Board for separate xx.wikiverity.org 
knowledge base namespaces we will be faced with transition to the 
initial agreed environment within a knowledge base creeping 
incrementally toward the Wikibooks host mandated guidlines.

If anyone is interested I can review some U.S. mil-stds to see if there 
is applicable material that might provide insight or I can step up my 
recruiting efforts for experience field or grid engineer and 
technicians.  These people do a range of stuff  (manual ... to self 
aware self adaptive software) and could show us while setting up their 
field/discpline/company/guild/association useful training materials.  
Obviously the free developers and wiki administrators would still have 
final say so and responsibility because I am finding these people in 
fields I have cited are typically very busy in demand experts.  They 
will assist with volunteered effort on a prioritized basis but initial 
effects will be slow and accelerate only at a glacial pace as we begin 
to refine our research issues and effective prototyping and operational 
methods.

I will be offline for a couple of weeks.  So this is a perfect example 
of calender impacts from localized space/time/life events.  I realize 
everyone is unique in their interface with our unique knowledge pages.  
I am happy to see significant progess being made in all steps of the 
initially identified requirements.
