Noopur, thanks for understanding and your kind
note.
I would request you to discuss with other women editors during the
Wiki-Edit-a-thon and come up with a recommendation. I think it is best that
you decide for yourselves.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

Hey Ashwin!
I don't think anyone who is active on this list will misunderstand your
mail. :) We've had discussions before on how a lot of positions cause
confusion and I also want someone who can dedicate enough time and
attention to work on this project. So, no hard feelings on my part. I also
saw your Wikipatrika Meta suggestion (going OT here). Since I will be
taking that up, my hands are really full anyway.
Anyway, I'd want to be the backup in case you need any short term help.
I am grateful for your considerate explanation though :) In the meanwhile,
we have a list of women Wikipedians. Naveen can suggest a name or two that
can be approached?
Regards
Noopur
