I'm not a wikimedia employee, but I am an intern with wikimedia this
summer. I'm a fairly active contributor on en wiki; but it is on another
account which is not my "WMF" account. So I am editing, just not
publicly. I wouldn't be surprised if that was also the case for many female
(and male) WMF employees.

I think having some dedicated time for the women of
the Foundation to edit
in a social environment is one potential solution. I know I seem to be like
a broken record - women need invitation and dedicated time and social
support! - but it's so true. I think the Foundation is an environment ripe
for that kind of collaboration because they are already committed to the
movement and just need a little push to edit more. I'm not sure how we as a
community can support them besides generally being welcoming and not being
adversarial just because they're from WMF.

Hi, this is a question I've been wondering
about for awhile, and I am
interested in hearing comments.
My impression is that few of WMF's female employees are regular content
editors or regular Commons media contributors, although they occasionally
have office discussions about how to increase the number of female editors.
What could be done to encourage WMF's female employees to edit or
contribute media files on a regular basis, and would the necessary
encouragement for these women also apply to other working women who would
make good editors?
