Wikiversity is in the works:

However, a good project needs time. There's no point in advocating a
WikiAtlas if you don't know what software you're going to use to edit
it. As for "free thesaurus", take a look at the WiktionaryZ prototype
at http://www.wiktionaryz.org/ ; we have imported the full GEMET
thesaurus, and will have some surprises coming soon.

But there's a _LOT_ we can do to make our existing projects work more
smoothly. As important as it is to take on world-changing new ideas,
it's crucial to follow up on the ones you've started.
