Andreas - when you say "until the Foundation does
something," what are you
looking for them to do?
You can always directly write the legal team and ask them for input on
what "they" could do regarding your concerns. That's what I would do if I
was you.
As you very well know, grantmaking and technical aren't able to do much of
anything, due to our new focus. However, community members are welcome to
develop Individual Engagement Grants and chapters are able to acquire
funding for programs and projects, and the gender gap is something everyone
loves to talk about over and over and over again but no one seems to be
willing to step up as individuals or as chapters to make large scale
changes outside of outreach activities. (And I am grateful for all people
do on this list, but..I'm just sayin...it seems to be the same people over
and over again bringing this up, however, all people seem to do to about it
is complain and talk about it, and take no action, and it's really tiring
and depressing to watch and puts the burden on those of us who have limited
time and are already burnt out).
I've started a page for a Gender Bias task force here, if anyone would like
to sign up --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias…
I thought it might help to have a page where we can openly discuss the
issues.
