Well, it's always going to be upwards, since it's counting first uploads and not active uploaders, that would be extremely difficult and arbitrary to measure. Regardless of that, yes, we keep having new uploaders, and that's good. > It would > be nice to find out how to get such a good result in the number fo > first uploads made by a female again, and it would also be nice to > know how to transform a higher number of those first uploads into DDs. At some point I had planned to mail all the non-DD first uploaders, to find out if they have some opinion to share about their experience, and how things could be improved, but I never did it. I'm going to do that now, since I think it'd be useful in order to get some new fresh ideas. > The increase of female DDs between 2005 and 2008 might be > statistically related to the increase of first uploads between 2003 > and 2005 according to the graph.

I think it's pretty clear, that the DW project cause an important increase in participation which later led to an increase in more women becoming DDs. Obviously not all cases are related, but I think that it's pretty evident that the original effort had a very immediate result, while nowadays we are almost having no results, and I'd like to do something about it. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
