Answering B

The lastest source of all gender stats is: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AEditor_Survey_Report_-_April_2011.pdf&page=22 which says  woman are 9% of all editors (not 13% like says in the mailing list page)

hi @all,

I have two questions,
A. @list admin*
B. in general

A.

I think that on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mailing_lists

in the list following
"The public mailing lists for the Wikipedia project include:"

gendergap

should be added.
how to describe the intention of this list?

is this information still current?
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap

B.

... and I always wonder why stats creators are so sure about "knowing the gender" of users behind user
names - btw, either/or, apparently counting only two genders ...

I would like to suggest that the list description for this list
https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
not repeat any such number in its list description, and certainly without pointing to the source of this
information

I also wonder what such statistics in particular may be intended to hide... as far as I am informed any stats
(are designed to) hide more than they show ;-)

thanks & cheers,
Claudia
