It has been concerning me for a while reading this discussion that the
accusations rest heavily on an expectation that everyone can and should
master English (and even American English) as well as write the language in
an acceptable tone. This is a huge ask. Getting the tone right demands a

Let's not reinvent the wheel, shall we?
A group like Maggie described already exist - for years - under the name
Wikichix-l (see
http://lists.modernthings.org/listinfo.cgi/wikichix-l-modernthings.org )
Is a mailing list who exist since December
I'm there for months and I must say is a pretty quiet mailing list.
And we have around 60 members.

A bit rude are we? It would have been more useful to simply mention the
other list, which I clearly was not aware of. Also, discussion followed on
whether this is a positive development, and whether a number of other
divisions will (or should) spring up after this.

The reason you can't find the archives is that it is a non-archiving list,
and there are none.
I too have been a member of this list for many years. It is used
infrequently, and I believe its intention was to draw issues of interest to
women editors to their attention, and to provide support to

The Women on Wiki list, while membership is monitored, is archived and
public--anyone can read it.
Also trans women are absolutely accepted into this community. No question. I
don't want to exclude any women from this group.

If people can read it, doesn't it go against the privacy that women seek in
the list?
What about genderqueer?

Hey Fiona,
I think this is awesome. I didn't know that Girl Geek was considered
international.. I'm busy as a bee, but, I'd love to develop an edit-a-thon,
a cocktail edit-hour, a party, etc... I also like the idea that Girl Geek is
inclusive - men can attend right (if a guest of a woman?)? As
One more question Fiona - is this something we'd get funding through GG for
or would we look towards chapter/WMF support?

Hey,
Depends on the organisation. Bristol was chapter support but Manchester was
mostly support from the Girl Geeks themselves. IN summary, it is negotiable.

Right on - so we'll just look at funding as it arises (especially because
the States is special in regards to funding/chapters/blah). But good to
know there might be opportunities for co-funding.
Perhaps Laura might have interest in this in Australia - she posted about
grants yesterday

If the woman on the list would prefer it to be private, I have no
problem with that. I just didn't want it to seem like we were trying
to hide anything. I am really familiar with all the issues in the
gender community, and I know how feminism has tended to exclude
non-white, disabled, or
Hi everyone,
I recently mentioned the idea of the Mind the Gap barnstar/award. The term
mind the gap is in reference to the warning set forth by the London
underground to warn people to make sure they pay attention the space between
the train door and the station platform (learn more here:
Hi Sarah,
I love this idea and have always loved the phrase in its original use too.
I've passed on the request.
