Hi everyone,<br><br>I've had a few conversations, and heard/read a number of comments about the term "WikiChix." Now I've never been much of a "chick", and it seems other women tend to agree in the terminology as being a bit...hokey, old school and not the most contemporary. <br>
<br>I'd like to see how we can re-develop the concept into something else. I've been using just the simple term of "Women in Wikimedia" etc, but I know that's not the most quirky or exciting sound term when it comes to trying to be clever at a luncheon or whatever. There's also the "Women of Wikimedia" but "WoW"...hehe... "Oh is this a Warcraft meet-up?"<br>
<br>I also joined the WikiChix mailing list over a month and ago and there has been no activity. I'm starting to think perhaps we can retire the term for the sake of contemporary thinking.<br><br>But, perhaps I'm just being uber and everyone thinks it's the cutest name ever and should be kept. <br>
