Hello,

Thanks for the reply, Anne. So, perhaps the only measure available, is the number from the Teahouse and the individual editathons. I'll look into those, for now.


Best wishes,

I do not think it will be possible to accurately assess any impact of specific actions, for multiple reasons.  The most relevant one, however, is the fact that the WMF itself has not done any broad-scale editor surveys in a very long time, nor have individual communities to the best of my knowledge.

Hello,

I am writing a short (1500 word) text for the journal of current cultural research, Culture Unbound (http://www.cultureunbound.ep.liu.se/index.html), to be published in April. The topic touches quite heavily on the gendergap issue. I have tried to find any numbers on whether the initiatives - editathons, Teahouse, etc - have made any dent in the numbers. Are there any such numbers or have I simply fantasized about it?

Since they want the text soon, please respond soon. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Best wishes,

Lennart Guldbrandsson
