The Fedora Project Wiki is a helpful tool for the Fedora community. It is a public “whiteboard” with information about Fedora, its community, and its contributors. New wiki pages are like a clean whiteboard space for a meeting. The flexibility is useful for collaborative planning or frequent logging of information.

The Fedora Wiki uses default MediaWiki markup language. MediaWiki is easy to use and made popular by Wikipedia. It is similar but more simple than writing HTML for web pages.
