Neutral point of view  If Wikiversity is going to be a place for research then we need to deal with "foundation issues". It is probably time to get serious about Disclosures, Scholarly ethics and Review board.

Portals  I continue to work on the portals (master list). In the past five days I have converted 9 portals to the "editable box" format with featured content. These portals still need to be converted to the "editable box" format: Research, Professions, Media, Learning Projects, Learning Materials.

User page cleanup  I have been trying to clean up my user page by off-loading some of the clutter to blog pages.

Wikibooks
Someday I hope to have time to get back to the task of helping build Wikibooks textbooks for biology.

 * Unsolved problems in biology

 * Need to start Developmental biology

Odds and ends
Ideas that need follow-up:
 * "the goals of the community and the goals of the project aren't always in line with one another" - User:Sebmol August 18, 2006
 * I wonder if Wikiversity needs a learning project to educate participants about the Wikiversity project. History of Wikiversity
 * need a quiz covering the project proposal - see User:Rayc/ProposalQuiz
 * On the the Wikiversity student:teacher ratio, "It will always be 1:1, each participant learns, everyone teaches."
