The big wikipedias would benefit in numerous areas by
being
project-driven to a much larger extent. Let a newcomer join one or more
projects instead of the huge Wikipedia - let the project welcome her,
discuss what contributions she wants to make and what she is able to do,
hand out tasks that are unfinished etc.Think it over once again.

It doesn't work. Even now, if you show up on some projects, create a new
category, write a few new articles, you have to claw your way through
nominations for deletion and a blizzard of nonsense from regulars, based
on being "new". Not that I can't do it, but it is just wasted energy.
