In the begining there was a blank slate.

I wonder if a threaded forum would be helpful.

The overwhelming sense I have of Wikiversity is that of trying to run before walking. This could and should be one of the most exciting developments on the Web and education, however it is paralysed by two fundamental errors:
 * the empty replication of a traditional epistemology
 * the maintenance of a distinction between teaching and learning

Further to the discussion of governance, are Wikiversitians simply wanting to set up as new gatekeepers of the traditional domains: "meet the new boss..."? Why do "we" need to "keep up with" people who are "on this course"? Just because traditional universities do this doesn't mean Wikiversity needs to or should.

I agree with Andrew, there is an opportunity to do something different but it doesn't have to do with finding out what we can teach; it is about what we want to learn. Learning is far more difficult than teaching. That is why many teachers stop learning as soon as they can and simply replicate aging knowledge. (Of course the good ones don't!)

The long list of faculties and courses that are unpopulated are perhaps testimony to the need to come up with something else. Take it all down! Archive all unpopulated categories.
