Talk:Gender gap

Current relevant efforts section?

I just joined the Gender Gap list and put my somewhat reformulated list of issues here and removed my original rendition that was here and changed subject line.

So do we need a section for listing (and delisting when done) discussions on various wikipedias of issues related to bring more women in and keeping them in? The "plus" is it's a central place related to Gender Gap email list; the minus is it could get unweildy with too many off topic things. Thanks...

Non English projects

fr:Projet:Femmes - pl:Wikiprojekt:Gender Studies - sv:Wikipedia:Projekt kvinnor - es:Wikiproyecto:Feminismo. Not sure how to link to right now, but thought I'd put it up for future project or if someone else wants to link to them on main page. Carolmooredc 03:47, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks for great reorganization. Carolmooredc 00:09, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Some links and external researches

I was reading an interview about the Open World Forum [1] (question 8, in French) and the question of the gender gap in Open Source communities is asked. Some interesting links are given : Encourage Women Linux HOWTO, this page of this wiki related to gender gap in general. Since the problem about the gender gap is not specific to Wikipedia (computer science is generally a male environment, and editing WP is still viewed as a geekish activity (imho)), it would be valuable to search what is done in other communities about this fact/problem ; I know for instance Mozilla has a group of women who want to encourage female participation (WoMoz). ~ Seb35 [^_^] 15:04, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
