We now want to take it to the next step and create a formal committee
(see the forwarded post below).
Since the women@ list isn't well publicized, I'd like to get the word
out that it exists, so feel free to forward this to other Apache
lists.
Also, we're looking for more volunteers, so if this seems like a fish
you'd like to fry [1], you'd be most welcome.

Subject: [PROPOSAL] Move women@ to a project or committee

My post earlier this week [1] was buried in a response to an older
thread, so I'm reviving it with its very own subject. This post
summarizes the main points and includes feedback from earlier in
the week.
women@ should become a project or committee (specific structure to be
determined). Some reasons include:
1) women@ needs a stable web site with content controlled by
committers
who are granted karma to a women svn repo. Others, including other
Apache committers, are welcome to submit patches, which would be
committed after review.
2) The wiki, which already exists, should be a secondary source of
information, not the primary.
3) In addition to the public women@ mail list, a private list
should be
created to ensure that any sensitive issues have a place to be
handled.
Every project needs volunteers who commit to manage it:
- update the web site
- review and commit patches submitted by others
- respond to questions posted to the list
- vote in more committers to the project
- provide periodic status reports
I had originally thought in terms of women@ moving under the PRC, but
discussions earlier in the week suggested that some kind of committee
would be a more likely fit. In any event, the Board could determine
the
best structure after we have assembled enough volunteers to approach
them with a proposal.
And that's what we need right now: volunteers.
So far we have two:
- Jean Anderson [1]
- Noirin Plunkett [2]
Any other volunteers?

-jean
