I would suggest not trying to work on a wiki to collect this data 
especially on a regional website. This is extremely hard to maintain 
manually. We have two related projects to do it in a more automated fashion.

Smolt which collects just hardware information
LHCP which aims to provide compatibility information.

https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/LHCP

It would much more efficient to work with LHCP and help them out in 
packaging etc.

Since you have a relatively community working on packaging it would be 
useful to have a regular mentoring session where you can invite 
enthusiastic people and introduce them to packaging and related 
processes in Fedora.

Can you make sure this is translated into English too?

We haven't been advertising the presence of Free media much since the 
number of requests we can serve is low. How many requests can we be 
fulfilling every month in these regions?
