Perhaps it would make sense to revive WikiProject Countering Systemic
Bias, or reformulate something like WikiProject Diversity. I can see
the point that a typical wikiproject oriented around a particular
subject area (rather than to fostering diversity in general) might be
a somewhat limiting definition.
Dr Strassman is actually chair of the board of the Wiki Education
Foundation, serving the education program in the US and Canada (I am
another one of the board members). Certainly the education program
model of "ambassadors" is something that can be built on.
Thanks,
