Re: [Gendergap] WikiWomenCamp: National perspectives on women and the movement

2012-02-02 Thread Jane Darnell
Hi all,
Actually, I would also love to write a book with no rigor, so I sympathize with 
the idea. Sorry I missed this. As one of the two female board members of the 
Dutch Wikimedia organization I feel compelled to contribute to this page. 
Unfortunately I am not sure when I will have time. I promise to think about it 
and meanwhile I see that my colleague Cyriel has come to the rescue.
Good luck with the initiative!
Jane

 Not sure why I didn't think of this the first time, but, like Beria and I 
 both said - let's be bold and while we hope for input from Laura, I'm sure 
 people would be welcome to improve on their pages, like I hope I did in the 
 US section. (I did remove the material related to top articles and so forth, 
 but it was returned!)
 
 And of course, like all wiki's, there is a talk page for each country that 
 Laura has listed, so you can even craft conversation and ideas there. And of 
 course, I do encourage constructive conversation here on this mailing list 
 (more than just an obtuse one liner!).  (For example, here is the US talk 
 page:

 Thanks Beria for encouraging others to participate on Meta! Looking forward 
 to seeing the materials on Meta continue to grow into something really 
 valuable for the community!  I think if we can focus on what people are 
 doing, it'll show us where we can place ourselves in the role of Wikimedia, 
 and also encourage us to examine what people aren't doing. Sometimes just 
 focusing on that 9% can be a downer, you know? :)
