My understanding was that we were going to try and make Wikibooks work for the following reasons: 1. We had people on the list who were already using Wikibooks and liked it quite a bit. 2. It uses the Mediawiki wiki engine, which is probably the most ubiquitous wike engine available. 3. It has proven spam-fighting capabilities 4. The majority of people who had an opinion on the topic seemed to favor using a Wikibook site. In the end, I guess you could say that it was the lowest-risk choice. HTH! Tom Purl
