[Gendergap] Latest WMF brouhahas relevant to gender gap??

Wondering if there is any particular relevance to the gender gap issue in the removal of one board member and protests against the new one? Or just a general "editor trust" issue, which makes many editors dis-trust any "close the gap" programs/initiatives by WMF?? (Or at least gives them an *excuse* to distrust them!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Heilman https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:James_Heilman_Removal http://www.examiner.com/article/the-doctor-is-out-says-wmf-board AND https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnnon_Geshuri https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Vote_of_no_confidence_… http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/01/editors-demand-ouster-of-wikimed… --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
