Hi there.
I'll go ahead and add it to that list. I had no clue that list even existed.
I don't think the description needs to be too complex. I think just stating that this list is for just what it says it is - people within and beyond the Wikimedia community interested in exploring ways to close the gender gap on Wikipedia and related projects.

Dear colleagues,
As for the 'Wikipedia: Mailing Lists' page [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mailing_lists ] I too would expect to see the gendergap list there. I propose it be described as follows - anyone can improve it, please - as this is wordy...:
"gendergap list focuses on female contributors' concerns, and topics likely to be of interest to people who are female, identify female, and those with particular interest in female voices. The female perspective is and was historically - and even in Wikipedia - minimized in multivariate ways not (yet) well understood. As such, gendergap is intended to be a safe place for controversial or difficult ideas and values."

Hi @all,
I recently mailed an inquiry to a wikipedia list and it seems to me
that the thread that ensued might be
interesting data for study, possibly in the light of gender gap issues
the thread starts here:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikipedia-l/2012-May/007514.html
btw, let me know if you have any idea (or know of someone who might
have) for the actual topic of my
inquiry, I mean: how to figure out the right query and where start
the query etc.
thanks & cheers, Claudia koltzenburg@w4w.net
