Well, hopefully we can all basically agree on the notability of RNA families and other such info :) I think that a lot of problems with new contributors disappear if they are not, say, trying to write about their favorite band or themselves.
But running an active mentorship program would also be good. I wonder if we need a meta-wikiproject for interfacing with groups of academics and other experts who want to write about their field in an organized manner -- referring them to the right subject wikiproject, giving training, etc. As I recall there was a similar linguistics project last summer; others?
