Sorry, Wikibooks is for *textbooks* and Wikipedia is not a textbook. (We
also have a cookbook, wikijunior (kids' books) and how-tos.)
Nevertheless, a lot of proposed projects do fit at Wikibooks - on
strategywiki I found 2 or 3 just today.

Perhaps we're not doing a good enough job of advertising ourselves, or
perhaps people are not thinking their ideas through. Whatever the
reason, it seems like these proposals that already fit inside a box are
not actually being nipped in the bud with "That belongs at X project, go
do it there" and instead these people simply wallow in a netherworld
between wanting to start a project and the community having no real
capacity to evaluate proposals (including letting people know where
their project might fit into the wikis we already have).
