I don't know what triggered the discussion this time either, so this might be totally irrelevant: We do have a real problem with being offensive to women on irc. People don't respond to it because most people there don't care much about it. And the men there simply don't expect any women to be within hearing distance. Of course this is self-perpetuating. On the other hand, I don't think there's any conceivable way to manage behaviour in irc. It's a wild corner of the Internet. The people there are not even particularly representative of GNOME. I think the best we can do with irc is warn people whenever we suggest its use. Smaller, well-defined forums such as mailing lists and bugzilla are much easier to manage. -- murr...@murrayc.com www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
