Carol, my instinct is that this outreach program is within scope for the
outreach wiki.

[Gendergap] What is status of Foundation Gender Gap projects and relation to wikimedia Gender Gap project?

[Carol Moore dc]

People in the know can answer when it's covenient next week, but since 
it's on my mind, posting now.


As we write on Gender Gap Task Force main page: "In 2014 Wikipedia 
co-founder [[Jimmy Wales]] said the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] was 
"doubling down" its efforts to reach that goal and would be doing more 
outreach and software changes. Reference: 
http://www.bbc.com/news/business-28701772 Wikipedia 'completely failed' 
to fix gender imbalance, [[BBC]] interview  August 8, 2014.



So info on status of interns, paid staffers working on this, volunteer 
efforts, etc. and their relation to the Wikimedia Gender Gap Task force 
would be helpful. I know Wikimedia Gender Gap project which is not very 
active, though sub-projects like

WikiWomen's Collaborative are doing some things.

Reminder of temporary address of en.Wikipedia Gender Gap Task force's 
big list of resources which is relevant to the above and does in fact 
contain links where we can infer answers.

One reason I ask is I just put up this message at Wikimedia Gender Gap 
project but then started wondering about the issues above.


/Should this project be listed on Outreach.wikimedia?? at 
//https://meta.wikimedia.org/Talk:Gender_gap#Should_this_project_be_listed_on_Outreach.wikimedia.3F.3F//

//
//https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page links to GLAM 
(Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums) and Wikimedia Education 
Portal (re: different countries)  (as well as Best Practices and Success 
stories).  Considering women are half the human race, it seems sensible 
to include this project there. It probably would bring more willing 
volunteers to outreach in general as well. I don't see any discussion of 
this on this talk page and only a link to Outreach Village Pump as a 
"good place to discuss outreach to women." /


So clarifications and updates would be great and I'm sure lots of us are 
interested.


Thanks!!
