Re: [Gendergap] German Wikipedia: straw poll against woman rights

2014-02-01 Thread Kevin Gorman
Hi Bob -

Unfortunately I both don't speak German, and don't have the time to go
through a long and messy RfC on the subject in a language I don't
understand currently.  However the issue as it has been framed in your
original post certainly sounds concerning.  If you have the time (and I
certainly understand if you dont,) would you be willing to provide a
slightly more in depth summary fo what's going on currently.

Thanks,
Kevin Gorman

gender-neutral language. There are masculine formulations* for the work be
determined.
