Sarah, Thank you for being fearless and unflagging in your work this year, and for keeping your sense of humor and head above water while tackling ambitious projects and issues. I have seen all the ways you've helped move us closer to closing the gap by bringing new understanding, inspiration and strategies for supporting more women to edit. You've also taught me personally a lot about Wikipedia and have been a whole lot of fun to collaborate with. Here's to you, to ongoing gender gap projects, and to new projects yet to come!

Re: [Gendergap] Final WikiWomen's Collaborative post + end of my fellowship
Thank you, Sarah for sticking your ore in the water and paddling up stream. :-) :-) IMO, you raised awareness about the gender gap and tried several projects that are going to have a long term effect on the way that we deal with new users as Wikipedia tries to be more diverse. Good luck in the next year!!
