Actually, Fae, there isn't much going on now except trying to build the list up a little. After how much resistance (to put it mildly) the idea of a women-only area received on-wiki, I think some women are or would be afraid to be associated with such a group. (I believe that is part of why so much "resistance" (disdain and anger, really) was put up.)
As I've explained in the past, it's mostly there for woman-to-woman to support, not for gossiping about individuals, or for discussing (at length anyway) Wikipedia articles or policies. In fact, no gossiping or discussing articles or policies has taken place to date.
