I've actually been in touch in the past with the Brooklyn Museum's tech
guru Shelley about just this article, and possible collaboration on the
1,038 related women's biographies :)
If you're not in touch with her already, of course I'd be glad to introduce
you.
Thanks,

Hi folks,
The article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dinner_Party - which is
about the artwork by feminist artist and writer Judy Chicago, has some
issues. The issues lie in the "lists" that cover all the women featured in
the installation.
I'm in the process of a research project about the piece and the
controversy of the exhibition (...gotta get that master's) and I'm going to
start rewriting Chicago's biography while on winter break.
While I am very busy right now, I am seeking volunteers who might have
interest in evaluating how the list of women on *Dinner Party* article
can be better developed. Perhaps a separate page called "Women represented
in The Dinner Party" or a chart that is placed on the artworks own page.
But, as you can see, this list is rather poor and not the most pleasant on
the eyes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dinner_Party#Women_represented_in_the_plac…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dinner_Party#Women_represented_on_the_cera…
I'd prefer people to take action, over just sharing ideas with me right
now (sorry to be bossy, but, I trust *you!)*. So BE BOLD and let's make
that list as wonderful and visually appealing as the artwork itself!
Anyone who can lend a hand will receive the Archives of American Art
Barnstar (since Judy Chicago is represented in the archives collection,
where I served as Wikipedian in Residence)!
Thank you gender-gap comrades,
Sarah
