Thanks for a great start on this discussion Andrew. :-) Just a very
brief comment for now...

<beginquote> The idea about expanding Wikibooks to encompass what

"wikiversity" sounds to me like more of a generalized learning

that Wikiversity could be expanded to include textbooks then I do that
Wikibooks could be expanded to include all sorts of "learning
resources". <endquote>


It's interesting that there was an initial idea to have a
"WikiUniversity" project, for which the textbook project would be its
library. (See [1] and [2].) Then the textbook project took over and
Wikiversity became a component, albeit an uneasy one. :-)
