I agree with sebas, this is a pretty huge task for a one time contract.
maybe the best idea is to have someone come in and evaluate, take stock of
what is done well, what needs to be done and provide detailed job
descriptions of tasks to do, so that community members can do these tasks?

Here's a quick list:
1) Make sure our website communicates what we want to "sell" in an
attractive
way
2) Organize the community to help with promo, writing articles, blogs, etc.
3) Help with release promotion (manage press, make sure release notes and
press kits are there and up to date), connect journalists with developers,
etc.
These are all pretty huge tasks, and to make an impact, a one-time churn
isn't
going to pay off in the long run, we need these things organized and planne=
d
so community members can help out. More leadership on the promo side would
be
great.
I'd be happy to help anyone taking on this task to hit the ground running.
Cheers,
