[Foundation-l] Formal request: Wikiversity project

I just don't see why it makes any sense to have Wikiversity as part of
Wikibooks. The two projects would be likely to feed off each other -
as the development of courses would thus need textbooks, which would
help Wikibooks.

But they're not one and the same. Wikibooks is about making textbooks.
Wikiversity would be about learning stuff through organised courses.

It'd be ideal if the faculty system that's already templated out on
Wikibooks was taken live, because if they then organised themselves,
they'd have a much better chance of putting together a textbook that
made any sense. That would then be used as part of a course - and also
put on Wikibooks, benefiting both communities.
