My friend Gordon just alerted me to an Action Research project to develop Wikiversity, which is pretty exciting for me being so close to my own research interests on the application of action research methodology in a distributed environment.
Developing Wikiversity through action research
This is a series of steps that correspond to an action research methodology for facilitating and assessing the development of Wikiversity.
What is Action_research according to Wikiversity:
Action research is essentially a collaborative activity in which people enter into a progressive cycle of reflecting in/on their own practice (or environment) and changing/improving this practice/environment.
What is Wikiversity

Clik here to view.
Wikiversity is a learning community
Who:
Anyone can participate.
One intended outcome of this project is a PhD thesis. (Comment from Cormaggio: I want to make this explicit from the beginning, however I don’t want to lay personal claim to the research process, as it is genuinely meant to be a fundamentally collaborative activity – see User:Cormaggio/My? research.)
