There's a new let's-do-stuff-together group working to promote free
software and free culture among women in India. Feel free to check out
that page for more. It looks like they're working to hold an event on
20 May, in case you want to find out more or help!

Just a heads up that I have responded to your question at

I invite all gender gap list members to come to Commons to read what
is written, and get involved.
Cheers,

You may argue for all of the below on the project, and involve the
community-at-large. But you should know, that much of what you describe
below is covered by http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Personality.
If there are refinements that could be made, can I suggest you stop talking

Hey Fluff,
Indeed we did have a conversation on IRC the other day. You and I may not
agree on numerous things, and in many instances we have very similar views
(but perhaps you just aren't aware of it), but one thing we surely can
agree on is that by only commenting on this list is not having
Alas no, I'm not up to your challenge. I'm subject to quite enough
aggression and strange sexualization of situations on enwp; I don't have
the energy to dive headfirst into an even worse atmosphere of those things
on Commons. I'm much more comfortable speaking here, in an environment of
respect
More seriously; the idea that someone either volunteers themselves to enter
an environment they find disturbing and uncomfortable, or they're actively
contributing to it being disturbing and uncomfortable, is (frankly)
bullshit. Katherine is not responsible for the failure of Commons to
produce
And I see that you are just as active

you are obviously talking as a result of long-term experience.
It goes back to my response to Erik, that it is easier to sit back and
be negative, than it is to get involved. In terms of

When I say that shaming is bad? Why, yes.
I feel *exactly* the same way, and I'm a Commons admin :( This speaks for me,
too.

Quite honestly, is it any wonder when people make such statements that
editors from Commons basically ignore them, and don't bother
responding -- much like the weekly Commons is broken threads we see
elsewhere...you know the ones I am talking about.
I would suggest that if you have a weekly

And of course I love how you skirted the issue of your statement that
Commons produces nothing beyond photos of genitals.
I'll be waiting for your numbers of how many genitals files are on
Commons, out of the 17 million files in total we have. I'm having a
guess here; perhaps 3,000? Maybe 5,000.
Hi Theo, thank you for documenting my experience on meta, clearly a
rookie mistake on my part, I hadn't revisited that page since and just
now saw Sarah S note. I'm not giving up but I'm still figuring out the
best way/area to contribute. I'll definitely reach out for guidance in
navigating WMF
I have to say I share Russavia's bafflement around this issue.
The accomplishments people have made on the platform of Wikimedia Commons
are, in my view, staggering. Just this morning, a couple Wikipedian friends
told me about the photography of JJ Harrison, somebody who has uploaded an

Pete,
The other day, Daniel Case referred on Commons to Commons' failure as a
community to formulate a clear policy about posting identifiable nudes in
private places without any indication as to whether they have consented to
publication of those images under a licensing scheme that allows for
