Well, it is an excellent opportunity to talk without thinking

no-show. I would go ahead, but unless a regular crew of women
shows up it
will be a bust.
Again, the point is to encourage dialogue and partnership with
all genders. I'm quite impressed with how diverse IRC actually
is. And if you're not participating, then you need not worry
;) It's also another tool for female editors to utilize, and
once you show people how to use IRC (I hadn't used it in over
10 years, until yesterday, and all I needed was a little
guidance), it's just another place for people to have
community.
I just think it'd be cool to have a place called home for
those of us interested. Just like we have this mailing list
(which seems rather male dominated, too!). :)
