As a consequence: It would help most, if the database set up barrier could be 
lowered. 
 
We therefore should ask (and try to learn) what makes database creation so 
difficult, and how could we contribute to ease the learing curve?

Or directly: how can we make database creation easy and a low-threshold task?

(Just a thought)

who has never got familiar with databases "because of their complexity" (at 
least from an innocent user's point of view). OTOH, I've never seen really 
good tools for database creation (and change btw). So maybe, we could add to 
database usability by creating Really Good Tools(TM) for creating, changing, 
filling and quering databases.
