Hi, also a comment from me. After exodus of Wikiversity participants from the WMF movement I lost the interest. There seem to be also a very small support from WMF (as I seen some presentations on Wikimania).
There were founded also some forks, where people are not frighten from the founder and were the technical development goes faster being not burdened by bureaucracy and technical strategy, which is still implementing Wikipedia tools to other non-Wikipedia projects. And of course another reason is time. Now I work on Czech Wikiversity and this month came back to English Wikiversity were I found a mess, a big mess. There are hundreds of students and teachers from universities and other schools from hole around the world, but seems to me that a very little number of people patrolling RC.
