I think we talked about this already, but a checklist of sorts of things that newbies need to do upon approval would probably be a really good first step, especially if you included links. Things like friending all the other members, updating their information on the wiki and how to do that, putting contact info on their journal, etc. It'd probably be helpful even for long-established players, to make sure they have all their ducks*coughs* in a row when they pick up someone new XD
