hi, an interesting discussion. what do you mean by
"dedicated time"? but
it might as well be that working for the foundation is a regular paid job.
becoming a volunteer editor out of a paid job is of course possible as sue
gardner showed. but i think it is something not very typical. if wmf wants
that their employees volunteer they might consider to only employ people
who showed their commitment already. i am not so sure if this would make
sense in every case.

I think having some dedicated time for the women
of the Foundation to
edit in a social environment is one potential solution. I know I seem to be
like a broken record - women need invitation and dedicated time and social
support! - but it's so true. I think the Foundation is an environment ripe
for that kind of collaboration because they are already committed to the
movement and just need a little push to edit more. I'm not sure how we as a
community can support them besides generally being welcoming and not being
adversarial just because they're from WMF.

Hi, this is a question I've been wondering
about for awhile, and I am
interested in hearing comments.
My impression is that few of WMF's female employees are regular content
editors or regular Commons media contributors, although they occasionally
have office discussions about how to increase the number of female editors.
What could be done to encourage WMF's female employees to edit or
contribute media files on a regular basis, and would the necessary
encouragement for these women also apply to other working women who would
make good editors?
