Hello,
I am writing a short (1500 word) text for the journal of current cultural research, Culture Unbound (http://www.cultureunbound.ep.liu.se/index.html), to be published in April. The topic touches quite heavily on the gendergap issue. I have tried to find any numbers on whether the initiatives - editathons, Teahouse, etc - have made any dent in the numbers. Are there any such numbers or have I simply fantasized about it?
Since they want the text soon, please respond soon. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Lennart Guldbrandsson

Hey everyone!
I did a talk about women on wikiHow at Wikimania in DC, you can see my talk
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKP8UeMkoag
I'm thinking of doing another talk at Wikimania London in August. I was
wondering if anyone has ideas, or questions they'd like to see answered (or
at least discussed). Not all ideas will be applicable for our community,
but don't let that hold you back from suggesting.
Thanks in advance :)

Dear list,
I will be teaching a free, six week, online course on editing Wikipedia,
with a focus on improving Wikipedia articles related to Open Educational
Resources starting February 25.
I taught this course three times last year. One of our central aims is to
help our students navigate the kind of obstacles to Wikipedia engagement
that are frequently discussed on this list; and our students have done
excellent work, and generally had good experiences. (I acknowledge my bias
in making this unsubstantiated claim, of course ;)
The course "Writing Wikipedia Articles", known as "WIKISOO" for short, is
offered through the School of Open, and with support from the University of
Mississippi and the Hewlett Foundation. Co-instructors are Sara Frank
Bristow of Salient Research and Dr. Robert Cummings of the University of
Mississippi.
Please join us, and/or help spread the word in your circles!

gender-neutral language. There are masculine formulations* for the work be
