Hi Gillian,

thanks for the write-up. I enjoyed reading it. I don't have anything particular

Hello all,


Following on from recent WP editing workshops in Queensland (see/This 
Month in GLAM/ 
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/March_2012/Contents/Australia_and_New_Zealand_report), 
I wanted to write about it before I forgot.  I am posting here because 
the workshop participants were women and leading the sessions brought 
to mind my earlier experience gained over many years of teaching and 
training adults.





Hi Gillian! As always, thanks for your great insight. As someone who 
works at a GLAM and is in a museum studies program (an educational 
program that is 80% women around the country), I've been quite familiar 
with the "opposite" gender gap - more women than men. I'm really really 
glad you and Liam were able to travel to Queensland (enjoyed his photo 
blog!) and even happier that you shared your experiences with us. But, 
many of the reasons you cited are also the struggles on getting women 
involved in from those arenas - the hierarchy of the cultural makeup, 
privacy, etc. So these tips and thoughts are really valuable.


I know Carol Moore has been gathering documentation about training [1] 
and I think this would be a good addition for that!

I was wondering if there is a web page I can link to with your comments 
for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Workshop_for_Women


I can link to the newsletter but it only mentions the workshop was all 
women. Thanks.


PS Love the Roo and other photos!

Hi Everyone,

I have reformatted my comments about training so they are less a report and
more of a guideline, added some additional material and posted it here

The idea was to make it useful as a reference.

See also http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/TAO (the swiss chapter and
maybe another are working on that project)

Yes, Wikimedia Deutschland is also part of the TAO consortium, along with
multiple universities and other non-profits.
