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

The Geneva (Switzerland) education department has been using Moodle for years and is quite satisfied with the platform. A few films were produced on the subject:

That been said, Moodle is great for online courses with a Classroom size number of attendees. That is probably fine for us, I do not think that we will have hundreds and hundreds of simultaneous participants. I do have not any personal experience with a Moodle course addressing thousands of attendees.
Best regards Gabe

To follow-up what Federico Leva said, Wikimedia Italia and Wikimedia CH did an analysis to check the best platform for a MOOC.
Moodle is good for small classes and for well targeted trainings but cannot be "massive" because its architecture is not to be massive.
Anyways Moodle comes with a lot of gadgets and plugins.
Kind regards

The current Greenhouse course is running on Moodle. Where can I get more information on the use of Moodle by Wikimedia projects?
I was involved in developing Moodle content for Wikimedia UK in the period 2012 to 2014. As the domain moodle.wikimedia.org.uk is currently offline, there is nothing to show for this project right now. There
is
some accumulated experience in the practical side of hosting Moodle.
