Improving content articles is important, but so is being able to attract new contributors. I really like your idea of suggesting a weekly sort of project, like a "fix of the week", although the problem arises that we do not have enough people willing to run this sort of project and enough people who are engaged in being involved with said project.

Sometimes the reason users are "clueless" is because they don't know how to search for help. Other times they just don't know how to be bold. Like Plasmaster; his problem mostly arose because he was afraid to just put himself out there and instead, relied on asking for help all the time. NOBODY showed me that that doesn't work; people aren't always going to be there to hold your hand and walk you through the process.
