Thanks for the feedback. I know there is already some great projects out there like Wikiversity and Wikieducator, but Einstein University's focus is solely on higher education and our plan is to become a fully accredited degree granting university. Our initial plan is to offer a 2 year Associate Arts degree in 25 different languages and apply for accreditation in the main countries that speak those languages. If successful this would make higher education free for over 3 billion people. I know it sounds ambitious, but by 2050 we're going to have 10 billion people on the planet and we could use some big ideas. http://en.einstein-university.org/Einstein_University:E_%3D_mc2_Initiative

I'd also recommend, however, thinking about a niche or angle that perhaps falls outside of the coverage of wikiversity. Then focusing on that aspect and using inter-wiki linking or other kinds of cross-referencing to bolster each project in a harmonious movement of access to education. There is always room to be creative and in some cases its good to learn by doing, tweaking, and trying.
