I'm just blue-skying here, but wouldn't it be great if we could have a little window pop-up when someone clicks the edit button for the first time that says "Hey! Thanks for looking into editing Wiki____! It's easy but it can be confusing sometimes. Would you like to chat with a fellow volunteer who can answer your questions?"
And then there could be a little chat window allowing real-time communication while the editor walks through her first edit.

Sexualized environment on Commons
To briefly go back to what Sarah and Marie have said, I do find that in person hand-holding and social support are the most effective factors in getting women to stick around. I don't know how to translate that from the real-world environment I teach newbies in to the virtual environment of new users' talk pages. I'd love to brainstorm something in that vein, though. :)

Contrast that with the content on this site: http://largelabiaproject.org
