It'll be more than a repository. I think what most people agree on is that it 
should be a platform for e-learning, where courses are developed by teachers and 
students together (I'm not sure it makes sense to even draw this distinction 
here) and where people can communicate and help each other with learning.

In the long run it might make sense to also integrate ideas from
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikiresearch
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Scholarly_Journals
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiAbstracts
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiReviews
and other pages, but I think the community should decide about this in the 
future. Most of these ideas are quite abigious, not enough discussed in the 
community, and none of them is needed to start working on an e-learning plattform.
