Does anyone else feel like it might be time for a gender gap meet-up? I
love the mailing list, but it's such a limited (and formal) means of
communication. I'm curious what kind of ideas and discussion would come
from an in-person get together. I know several of the people on this list
are in the
I think that's a great idea, and I would love to come, but it's a long way from

Hi! Wikimedia DC is planning to hold another iteration of the Diversity
Conference, which has a strong gender gap component. More details to come.

Great idea! Are there enough people on the list within striking distance of
London to make this a possible venue too?
Any evening, week commencing 15 December?

In the light of the contentious Gender Gap Task Force case, I have
raised the following question for candidates in the current election:
I'm having difficulty visualizing how Arbcom today represents the
diversity of our community. Would you like to identify yourself as a
woman or LGBT, and explain

Hmm. I look at it and think why is the term sex-positive being used in
this way? It's highly biased, and it's certainly not terminology used in
most of the world amongst those who support prostitution as a career
choice; in fact the two have nothing to do with each other. I'd never
heard of it
I'm not sure I love the idea of asking people to identify with a gender or
sexuality when they haven't done so already. If they have already done so,
then the question is superfluous. Better to ask them their position on the
actual issue, and if they think there is anything arbcom or the project
Is that addressed to me? Not sure. In any event, the first link doesn't

So as I was replying to Tim, it occurred to me that there wasn't much
pleasure or recognition to be gained from working in the trenches on the
culture of Wikipedia or the gender gap problem as a whole. Individuals are

A. All the studies on female participation come up with low percentages
around 10% plus or minus a few percent. Of course, it is possible that in
all of the studies the women are choosing not to self-identify. It is an
inherent difficulty in any study if people choose to not reveal
