Actually, Fae, there isn't much going on now except trying to build the
list up a little. After how much resistance (to put it mildly) the idea of
a women-only area received on-wiki, I think some women are or would be
afraid to be associated with such a group. (I believe that is part of why
so much "resistance" (disdain and anger, really) was put up.)
As I've explained in the past, it's mostly there for woman-to-woman to
support, not for gossiping about individuals, or for discussing (at length
anyway) Wikipedia articles or policies. In fact, no gossiping or discussing
articles or policies has taken place to date.

Thanks for setting it up.
Please keep in mind the benefits of bringing back good discussions to
the open forum, including self-governance to avoid creating an
echo-chamber. The new list excludes me, and at the same time I support
experimenting with different types of safe spaces when there is a
perceived need.

There is now a Systers-Wikipedia private mailing
list for Wikipedia women
editors only. If you are a Wikipedia woman editor (including
transgender),
contact me for info on how to join.
I meant to announce this a few weeks ago, but an unplanned, personal
business trip and a broken elbow held me up.
