I know after mediawiki experience is not known as the best ever knowledge base system we can use.

However, what about DokuWiki? It's easier to maintain with namespaces, because every single user can watch the changes under each NS, without "watching" lot of pages. This way every subproject could watch *everything* happening in pages under its scope, with just adding an RSS feed to his/her RSS readers.

I've begin to share with Karsten Wade some ideas about a project to deliver courses to new users of Fedora OS, and contributors to Fedora Project. We started to think about this on Fedora LATAM, but we are just in the inception stage.

Maybe you'd like to look at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fedora_School

The name we are thinking on Latam is Escuela Fedora, this is the page in Spanish:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fedora_Escuela

Also, i started a blog which i'll try to follow examples of Fedora Design Bounties, initially focusing on minor tasks as wiki gardening and taking notes in a meeting. It's mainly Spanish language, but i'll try my best to update the wiki pages in english under Fedora_School for sharing the new ideas of any Fedora contributor.

Yes, i know Moodle or another LMS is not a KB, but i really think Mentoring of new contributors could be more "OpenSourceWay" if we help mentors to not taking all the deal of teaching new contributors by personal e.mail and sending newbies to "Reading the fine {Guides,Manuals,WikiPages,Logs,etc}".

I just wonder why we are using a wiki targeted to encyclopaedia development, not for documentation, as DokuWIki is.
