		<description>Dear friend and fellow scholar:  May I ask a few questions here:

1.  Do you have the goal of &quot;awarding&quot; a degree, or some other proof of knowledge, or will this be a place where persons, ideas, and resources will mingle, in other words a &quot;social learning&quot; web 2.0 type of learning experience.

2. You spoke of varying disciplines not agreeing on what constitutes knowledge or scholarly activity. Could this metauniversity be a space where scholars in vary stages of proficiency can find their mentors; if one person doesn&#039;t agree, the next would.  
  A vision: A particular topic or learning quest is identified and posted on the meta-u. Scholars from various discipline gather around that, in a forum type of discussion, brainstorming the topic. People naturally find their own groups--individuals who share an affinity for a particular learning outcome with particular methods to achieve that.  The ways and means(meanings) of various disciplines come together and form not necessarily a coherent whole in the end, but a new fluid body of knowledge, with plenty of new places to branch out.  Participants are asked to give a summary: what we did, what worked, what didn&#039;t, what we found out, what remains to be found and how someone else might tackle the facets that eluded us.
 Could this be one sort of map for what goes on here?

Your comments?
In peace
