Yes. And as there are a lot of non-DD/DM contributors in general (and especially in l10n area 'cause it not requires high computing skills), there are also many female contributors in this area. In l10n-italian we are two, and - for instance - in italian team for TLDP we are four or five. So, I think that could be a good idea to spot on this area: users (and particularly women) are shy, I can guarantee this: I'm one of them! But we *want* to contribute and to be part of the community: so, it can be useful join the community gradually, L10n it's a great chance to take a look in the backstage. ;) Cheers, Francesca -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
