AFAIK women-opensuse mailing list is not very active. I would agree with Helen to make women not a minority group but keep them full integrated.I understand some cultural issues can prevent some women to participate at the same places men do that's because women group come to be useful. Said so let's keep both channels quite open to make them choose what is more comfortable for women or let's them feel less intimidated. As I think women have an enormous computational potential I use to promote openSUSE among women in my country. -- Ricardo A.
