Why not doing exactly the same but on mediawiki.org directly? All the effort

I think there's a slight misunderstanding.

I don't think so  :)  but it's fine. No stop energy.

If you see
http://whatcanidoformozilla.org, it doesn't have much *original*
content by itself - it just links back to an appropriate page on
mozwiki. This one will also be the same - it will just link back to
appropriate mediawiki.org pages.

Yes, yes. We could argue about the tactics of creating own sites for each activity as opposed to build on top of your current platform but there is actually little point in doing so.

Please continue with your initiative but document / discuss in your preferred destination under Project:New contributors

This will help us being all in sync

And if the pages are not good enough,
I'll try improve them (or poke people into doing that).

This is the big part of the work. And related to this: improving mediawiki.org homepage and Developer Hub to reflect all the opportunities for contribution you are describing.
