Thank you for the report, Laura. It sounds like there were some very productive discussions.

I look forward to seeing the list of reasons women don't participate on Wiki(p)(m)edia projects.

I would encourage caution about the mailing list, for the same reasons as Nathan indicated, and would indeed encourage further discussion with SlimVirgin and perhaps a few other people who were involved (pro and con) in the prior private mailing list.

Most of the women involved with working on this were from the Spanish speaking community and my impression was English language participation would be secondary. They were also working on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp/Agenda/Gender_and_Edit_War . I wish I could find the documentation for that particular outcome session at the end as we had a sheet go around for people to volunteer to sign up. Thus, I'm short on details. I think there may be some on http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiproyecto:Ciencia,_Tecnolog%C3%ADa_y_G%C3%A9nero . I'll pass along the e-mails to those I know were involved in that planning.

Sincerely,
Laura Hale
