Suggestions for articles to edit / read / follow / whatever, and plenty of other things to do! :)
+1, many android users (myself included) have Google Now right on their home screen, so this is a great way to engage readers and editors. Ideas off the top of my head: suggested articles on the morning/evening commute, micro-edits (or at least suggested edits), location-based suggestions, updates to watched pages, etc.
Thanks,

+1 to show Wikipedia.
Articles to read near your location is an obvious and easy first step, although the same card probably shouldn't be shown twice, and in places with a lot of landmarks not too many should be shown at once.
Suggesting to upload missing images is something that we've been dreaming about for over three years, even if the experiments around this have been flaky till now.
All that said, till now I had Google Now disabled, as it never did anything really useful to me. I don't like a lot of notifications, and the only thing in Google Now that was remotely useful to me is the time until getting home, but always popped up at the wrong circumstances, and I preferred checking it manually when needed. I guess that I'll try the new setup.

I am glad that Google has APIs for this now. We can hope that they'll open up the voice commands to third party developers too.
Another micro-contribution idea that Yuvi and I had a long time ago can now be easily executed—ask people to location tag articles with names similar to POIs nearby.
