I didn't actually expect negativity towards what I believe will be a good 
thing.  The immediate first impressions have brought reactions about 
copyright and trademark violations, but I'm not here to steal.  I'm here to 
use and emulate a very good thing.  I absolutely agree with you that part of 
the solution will be a multitude of references to Wikibooks, but another part 
of it will likely be Wikipedia-like encyclopedic topical references, and the 
other Wikimedia components, which I will be investigating tonight.

Why would a completely new project be "unlikely to work too well?"

What is it that you are seeing that will limit me to just using Wikibooks?

Thanks,

Eric
