Hello everyone,
I don't know how many of you are subscribed to the gender gap list, but for
those of you who are not: I found this message interesting and somehow
relevant to our work. As many of you leading great work to narrow the
gender gap on Wikipedia, I mean.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need my help with anything!
Cheers,
Samir

Subject: [Gendergap] The Signpost
To: Increasing female participation in Wikimedia projects <
Gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello,
I'm one of the new editor-in-chiefs of The Signpost, the community-written
newspaper covering the English Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
While it is hosted on the English Wikipedia it is independent of the WMF.
In March, we would like to include some content focusing on women's
contributions to Wikipedia and the gender gap. Some of this may be in
conjunction with the WMF blog, but the details have yet to be worked out.
We need ideas, but mostly we need people willing to create such content.
We have a very small staff and most of them are dedicated to producing our
regular features.
March aside, new content and suggestions are of course always welcome at
any time and on any issue. In particular, I've used this list to find
media stories that I've missed in the usual places I look when composing
the "In the media" section of the Signpost, and I wanted to say thanks for
that and if there's any media story or anything else that you think should
be featured in the Signpost, please let me know.
Thank you,
Gamaliel
