According to [1], Wikiversity is intended for *learning resources*,
specifically learning resources different from what Wikipedia and
Wikibooks offer.

I fear that if we were to try to use it as a platform to develop the
Gemini specification, rather than just learning materials around Gemini,
Wikiversity editors would not accept this. If one were to create such
pages on Wikiversity, they would probably be quickly removed using
Wikiversity's speedy deletion guideline [2]; the very first criterion
listed for speedy deletion is "No educational objectives".
