Siko, we would definitely like to organise a Gender gap event in
partnership with the WMF. Mumbai is a good location to hold it, apart from

Hi ,

I would greatly appreciate it if you could add your suggestions, feedback
and comments to the work plan or post them here. The strategy shared
This might be a dumb question, but are there any ongoing GenderGap
related efforts right now outside of content projects (i.e. other than
on a Wikipedia etc.)? Is there a thematic organization focused on it,
or any significant research or outreach grants or programs? It seems

Rohini, I've been excited to see the India work plan develop and will be

Hi all,
In July, we hosted a small gathering in San Francisco to consider the
current state of the gender gap and brainstorm some initiatives that
community and staff (WMF grantmakers, etc) might work on together in the
coming year. After a shamefully long time,[1] notes from this meeting are
