I'd really like that when user register as first, he can write a
course or edit something directly on his own page. We had an example
of a really keen person that started writing about IT topics in the
wrong way. If he knew that, he would have put is effort in a more
useful way. A user that simply wants to edit something is interesting.
How do we manage that? In my opinion he/she should directly write on
the topic's page. What do you think?

"There is an extension for that" [semicit.]

The other day I found this one:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GuidedTour Do you mean
something like that or a more advanced driven process?

I would take the act of publishing as simple a clicking a button on
the user's page. So the topic (beware that we deprecate the term
"course") written by the user would be seen by its tutors or admins
and if everything is ok the topic will be moved into the main page.
