Assuming good faith, all these Dartmouth students will

_useful_ article for their course credit. So, let's help them do so.
Would it be worth putting together a quick welcoming page, targeted at
these students (and anyone else coming along later on the same sort of
project, since there will be more), which points out resources like
[[Wikipedia:Requested articles]], [[Wikipedia:Requested article
translations]] (hey, *I'd* offer bonus credit for a translation),
[[Wikipedia:Most wanted articles]] &c, with some notes on the kind of
thing we'd really like and the kind of thing we'd discourage?
This'd also serve as an opportunity to make links like the Help Desk
clear, mention the talk pages of some users willing to assist, &c
&c... thoughts?

I like this; picking an appropriate topic will probably be the hardest
part. Actually, [[Wikipedia:School and university projects]] has most
of these links already: perhaps a /studentguide subpage or something
as a welcome page directed at students participating in these
projects?
