Hi everyone, I'm sorry that my first post on the gender-gap list is a little mean. I'm a wikipedia-fr admin, active member of Wikimédia France chapter and a member of the OTRS team. Yet, since I've joined gender-gap a week early, I receive more mails from this list than all the other lists

Beria - I never asked Caroline to leave the mailing list. I was merely making a suggestion. For example, when I became overwhelmed by the traffic on Foundation-L, I went to digest with it. A mere suggestion is not a request for anyone to leave. It's a shame that my posts have been so

*I'm looking forward to hearing what Caroline would like to discuss, or Beria.* Well Peter, when I come here (the day the list was created) the idea was to create a list to discuss HOW TO REDUCE GENDER GAP (in caps to make it more clear), that was the propose and that was the one I accepted.

Hi Beria, Yes, that is why I'm here as well. And I confess that right now, I do not have a grand theory of how to fix it all; but I'm glad to talk about, or work on, little ideas while the big ideas percolate. Beria, you and I have both been here for a long time, both on the Gender Gap list and

To me, article differentials like this are one of the most interesting manifestations of the gender gap, and are worth talking about on this list. Content that deals primarily with women is systematically underdeveloped throughout the projects, and that is a big deal. The gendergap would still

Is kinda funny that you ask what I'm doing, Peter. Sounds like unless I'm being paid for WMF to deal with Gender Gap I shouldn't have a voice, and shut the f*** up. But anyway You wanna know what I'm doing? I tell you: I'm organizing not one, but 2 conferences with focus in the women in this
