Precisely. There's a little bit more to it than this - there's
certainly the potential for things like class discussions (though IRC,
perhaps), as well, and actually taking some form of organised course,
rather than *just* teaching yourself out of a textbook. Though, as
I've been saying all along, it would also benefit those people too -
by actually creating the textbooks they could then work from.

After a futher look around wikiversity (something i

have done before opening my big mouth), i think that the crucial
difference between wikiversity and wikibooks is that wikiversity has
feedback. I think that the idea behind the example module
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Translation_practice_course
is a great one. (simplified, the idea is that you translate a page
from the spanish wikipedia into the english wikipedia, and then people
provide peer review of you traslation, i guess you just archive the
old translations and comments...).
paz e amor,
