The email aliasing is perhaps the biggest point of attraction for me,
but blogging would be a big help too. Our community has voted once
before to not allow blogging on-wiki, despite the fact that
Wikiversity allows it. Some other items that I mentioned in my first
email would also be difficult to do on-wiki:

*Ability to host personal information, including images, which are not
freely-licensed
*Embedded IRC client with access to #Wikibooks, #cvn-wb-en, and #en.wikibooks
*Applets and other tools specific to wikibooks (similar to the
toolserver, but primarily for wikibooks)
