I request a plugin that creates a Front-End Menu and their own Profile for regular registered users so they can submit articles and post and keep track of their contributions.
They should never see the dashboard.
I can't find anything like this for wordpress, only some submit form, but that's only a fraction of a real fron-end user profile interface.
Not exactly a plugin but a free theme which allows your users to post from the front-end. You could customize the theme to taste or check the code and apply to your own theme.

Thanks, but that allows even guests to post stuff, which would be bad for spam and such.
It has no front-end member area and if people register they still see the dashboard.

You could always use user role plugins like Role Scoper http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/role-scoper/ with P2 to control specific permissions for member groups and visitors to your site.
Based on your initial message I would probably suggest taking a look at Buddypress though http://buddypress.org/. This relies on installing WordPress Multi User, and it will give the majority of the functionality you are after, with user profiles etc.
