I think in this situation a useful page that Danny Wool and a few of his friends thought up a few years ago, and has been improved upon subsequently by diverse hands, might help.
I am of course thinking about the list of 1000 articles each wikipedia should have. Just completing a significant part of that list is an accomplishment for a tiny pool of editors, but is within reach, and can serve as a useful incentive. BTW, I understand there is some work being done currently to define a tinier subset of that list, which could be even better for projects with fewer contributors, which would define what the really really really core encyclopaedia articles are.
