My question was about having an on-wiki, women-only project. Just discussing if/how it could be done. On Jan 1, 2015 6:16 PM, "Risker" risker.wp@gmail.com wrote:
So perhaps the question is how many women would be interested in participating in off-wiki...I'm not really sure entirely what exactly it is, although hypothetically it's mentoring and... well, I keep coming back to I'm not sure what it is.
I have a hard enough time keeping up with my current load, and am not particularly interested in going to more venues, but I may be the exception.

Thank you, Heather! This is what we run into on the WP GGTF every time we open something up for discussion.
All I wanted to discuss the possibility of such a group. Are there any policies that would make it impossible? How would we determine who is a woman? Could inclusion/exclusion be automated? What might the benefits of such a group be? The liabilities? What would its scope be? It's goals?
Can we discuss this? On Jan 1, 2015 5:30 PM, "Heather Walls" hwalls@wikimedia.org wrote:

I for one would immediately be running the project through the Miscellany for Deletion process.
You don't see anything slightly wrong with this idea? Really?!?
This is 100% unadulterated identity politics.
You say that as if identity politics is somehow inherently negative.

Is it simply impossible to start a Wikipedia project that's open to
women, or people who identify as women? (I'm sorry if I don't use the correct terms, but I haven't kept up with them in recent years.)
I mean if we did it... what would the consequences be?
