[Foundation-l] Ideas for newbie recruitment

I’ve been into Wikipedia for several years, and all my friends know
this. I *still* find myself having to explain to them in small words
that that “edit” link really does include them fixing typos when they
see one.

So my suggestion: tiny tiny steps like this: things people can do that
have a strong probability of sticking.

Anyone else got ideas based on their (admittedly anecdotal) experience?
