It is best, some say, to concentrate on what is most in demand (either by what links here, or by searching Wikipedia for the term and seeing how many articles mention it). I think 'missing articles' does factor that in. Oh, and one way to enculture new editors is to help them out on an article and if they talk back (many people are shy or don't want to interact), then take things from there. I wonder if WikiTours would help? Charles should be able to point us to the Meta Bus Tours that once existed. Maybe you remember those, David? Some page on meta that gave timetables for a virtual bus stopping at various central locations in Wikipedia.
