Well, IMHO, I recommend wikipedia-en-help for help, the people there are
great and polite, and will help you with almost any editing issue you can
think of. Recommend people to it if you can, we need a break from obviously
COI editors who need to be explained the exact rationale behind rejections
of AfC drafts.
Start your wiki, but beware of echo chambers! You might come up with a
great idea, that everyone on the small wiki might agree with, but when you
actually propose it, it'll get shot down because it wasn't palatable to the
wider Wikipedia community.

Thanks. Have been meaning to explore it for other uses. Did see
http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page which was pretty amusing...
It could be a place to do a "Women's practice wiki" with links to
Wikipedia policy pages. Thus it could be both a "safe place", a place to
vent and seek advice, a place to practice proposed policies that are more
women-friendly, etc. - all without being someplace that marginalizes women,
which seems to be the main complaint...
Would have to look at the software options...
Thoughts on this more practical, less adventurous option??
