Wikiversity talk:Rootsub Essay

Proposed steps to be taken

 * 1) Is this project necessary? Ascertain the value of recruiting instructors to bring students into Wikiversity for the purposes of writing essays. Do we want a large quantity of student essays on Wikipedia? What are the advantages of hosting essays on Wikipedia compared with alternative platforms (and what are these platforms?)
 * 2) Design the simplest possible entry-level procedure for two types of students:
 * a) Those who will use Wikiversity exclusively to write essays, as well as view and comment on the work of others.
 * b) Those who will compose essays on Google Docs and interact with Wikiversity only by posting links to their own work, and as well as reading and commenting on the work of others.

The current status of this project is step $1$. Is it even necessary to link Wikiversity and Google Drive in this way? Also, part of step $2$ is to decide whether or not to use the wiki that is being offered on Google Drive by the for-profit company youneedawiki.com. Even the name of this company's website puts me off. What if Jimbo called it "You-need-a-wiki" instead of "Wikipedia"?
