…focus my efforts on areas with the lowest ratio of editors to value of the content… This sounds quite interesting. Do you do this by rough intuitive feel, or is there any quantitative/analytical data from Wikipedia that can be used to prioritize attention this way? (For example: a list of places where the imbalance between readers/inbound-Google-referrals and content/active-editors is greatest?)

I generally do it by feel, partly because I'm treating "value" somewhat subjectively, something like "intellectual value" or "scholarly value" rather than "number of hits". So I look for things that Wikipedians don't seem to be spending a lot of effort on, but which imo a good encyclopedia should cover.
