if you would go to the fedoraproject web site in order to retreive the
basics.

have kept their wiki but they have also created simple websites which
are specific to a country in order to be closer to people of that area
and who are interesting to know a little bit more what is ubuntu or to
install it.

The local websites should be handled by local Fedora people, most likely
Ambassadors.

Again, this is the action plan we've seen in Brazil and proved feasible:

1) 3 or more local Ambassadors initial gathering
2) local Ambassadors list creation
3) agreement on local Fedora activities
4) local Fedora website creation
5) local sub-projects representation i.e. free media distro, native lang
documentation, translation, events, etc
6) website maintenance
7) new Ambassadors joining
8) ....

Feel free to navigate http://www.projetofedora.org/ and
http://www.fedora.org.br/.
