I suspect it was just time pressures rather than a conspiracy of silence,
Risker :) I certainly thought it was worthwhile and useful, and would have
been happy to chat about it if you'd asked.
Obviously we need to think about scaling and impact if we want to do more
of it, but I think that's certainly doable (especially if it is part of a
larger strategy for cultural change).

What it says on the tin.
Even though I was present at Wikimania, I heard very, very little about
the Ally Skills workshop, even when I asked participants about it. (In
fact I don't think I got a straight answer to a single question about it.)
Given the interest about this workshop on this list, and the fact that
several of us would have liked to attend but had other commitments (whether
or not at Wikimania), I think many of us would like to hear at least some
bare-bones feedback about the session.
How many attendees? Male/female ratio? Key themes? Are any of the
participants comfortable in saying whether they felt they came away from
the session with new tools or skills that they feel will be useful?
I'm going to be honest, the silence about this well-supported experiment
has me very curious.
