I find many instances where I recommend one over the other. I like helping out around here because much of the community is new at this and very passionate, and a great part of what WikiEd is about is training people on real wiki skills (there's nothing like [[Learning4Content]] that i've seen anywhere else!) - where people use those skills is ultimately irrelevant; and, Wikied is also more able to innovate technically, which is a major point of difference for me; but funnily enough I mostly like working on my own resources/projects on Wikiversity as it seems more akin to the type of projects that '''I'm''' particularly interested in using a wiki for, and I like at times interacting with skilled and experienced wiki users.

Take a look at this as well though: http://www.wikieducator.org/images/f/f6/WE_Survey_04262008.pdf it might provide an nice view of how different are the two communities. The ''diversity'' of the different projects will ultimately be a strength to the movement as a whole and we should I think cross-promote and cross-pollinate as much as we can. When this licensing thing is fixed i reckon it will open a flood gate of interoperability, reusability, and collaboration between the sites, and perhaps what this movement is edging towards: that the whole will suddenly be much greater than the sum of its parts will be that much closer. I nearly quit Wikiversity because of some of the ridiculous accusations of paranoid partisanship that were levied against me when I applied for Custodianship and i'm still somewhat wary of the effect of users on the site that are overly active in organisation rather than in creating valuable content/projects. Wikiversity is in my opinion desperately in need of some new and exciting projects - the OER course was the last one I can think of that had any real substance to it (and should be run again in an improved form i'd say.)
