Hi Peter, for me, this is a very interesting question raised by you about using Moodle in the Wikimedia movement. I would also love to hear more about experiences.
One thing I would like to share in this context is this presentation from Doug Belshaw at the MoodleMoot conference <https://moodlemoot.org/mootieuk19/> in London this year in April. He is talking about how they want to enlarge Moodle as a social network. Maybe this is intersting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pupSuu-KSM&t=908s Cheers from Berlin, Elly Elly Köpf Projektmanagerin Wikimedia Deutschland e.
