or is actively harmful.
Having a quick glance, I see comments like "no women were elected to
Arbcom" for projects that don't have Arbcoms, and references to no women on
projects that don't exist for that language group.
As the majority of the data was completed by Laura (thanks for all your
research!), perhaps she could help the list to understand what the
intention was in including some of this information.
Indeed.
Has this been answered in a different thread or on a talk page somewhere?
I too am puzzled by the data in the "Perspectives" section, and I share
Lodewijk's concern about drowning out interesting data points with a lot of
meaningless ones.
