The WMF got a miniature of the monument as a gift from the organizers. You can find a photo of the miniature somwhere on commons :) Let me add that there was a discussion about the future of Wikipedia held at Collegium Polonicum (local university) just before the unveiling and we did talk about the gender gap (brief summary: the problem does exist, we are looking for solutions and reasons, women can be as good wikipedians as men etc - nothing new but I think that the fact that the discussion about the future of Wikipedia is opened with a discussion about the gender gap is worth mentioning).

Natalia, I agree - that is definitely significant news, so thanks for sharing! I noticed while collecting some slides for a "Gendergap lounge" I will be "manning" this Saturday that though there is an article in most language wikis for the Wikipedia monument, there is no link to it from the Gendergap article (and BTW, no article in the Polish Wikipedia on the Gendergap). I think it's worth mentioning as it is significant that female contributors are shown in the sculpture. Jane On Mon, Oct 27, 2014 at 10:57 AM, Natalia <antyterra(a)gmail.com> wrote:
