Hello Milos,
What an informative note you made! Thanks a lot!
There is a lot to think about but as for meantime would you please provide more details on
If we assume that our target groups are between 15 and 24...
(and you never went over age of 35 in your analisys) ?
As a part of that: do you have wikipedians age analysis for largest projects (let it be en: de: fr: ru: ).
And closer to your data: When you say "new Wikipedians" what do you mean exactly: - either new people registered; - or new people who made at least 1 edition (any other threshold?)?
I mean are you talking about people who just come (enter the door), or about those, who come and stay (don’t leave and eventually grow to “most active”)?
My aim is to point following: to accommodate newcomers is not less important than to attract attention (educate as you say) of prospective candidates.

Bad news is that I was right almost a year ago about trends of new Wikimedians. Relatively good news is that the statistics may be interpreted as not so bad ones. Good news is that WMF started to act in relation to those problems around half a year ago.
