[Gendergap] A fun new project!
Hello everyone, I've been fiddling with the article and content for Judy Chicago's /The Dinner Party/ and as I've mentioned, I've wanted to clean up the list for the 999 mythical figures and women listed on the tiles underneath the table (called the /Heritage Floor/). I double checked the list (which was short) and Kaldari developed a really lovely table for it. Which we've both started to fill out a bit. Quoting from Kaldari on WP:Feminism talk page: There are 999 women in the table, so it's a lot of data to add. If you're more of a prose-writer than a table-filler, we could also use help making sure that all of the women have decent articles, or just articles period. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_women_in_the_Heritage_Floor Yay! We look forward to seeing the table fleshed out and the articles as well. Thanks for your interest, and please spread the word!

[Gendergap] study about gendered names and IRC
I just read the following paper which describes an interesting study that was conducted regarding IRC: http://www.enre.umd.edu/content/rmeyer-assessing.pdf The researchers created several IRC bots with different names - some female, some male, and some ambiguous. They put the bots in several high traffic IRC channels, and had them record all the private messages they received. The bots themselves were completely silent. The bots with male names received an average of 3.7 private messages per days that were sexually explicit or threatening. The bots with ambiguous names received an average of 24.9 such messages per day. The bots with female names received an average of 100 such messages per day! This is a very sad statistic, and probably goes a long way towards explaining why there aren't that many women on IRC these days. On a happier note, if you want to hang out on IRC and not get sexually harassed, you can always join #wikimedia-gendergap!
