Hi Tom, hi @all
Wikimedia have decided to allow the list to be created
since we are addressing not only one gender gap but, seemingly quite a few, including those that come alonf the lines of what has come to be called sexual orientarion, I have a question about the creation process of the new list. I recently heard elsewhere that
it was difficult to bring WF to "allow" the list to be created in the frame of lists.wikimedia.org? how come?
thanks Claudia

I'm happy to announce that a new Wikimedia LGBT mailing list has been setup. For the time being, it is
being hosted on lists.wikiqueer.org (http://lists.wikiqueer.org).
http://lists.wikiqueer.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-lgbt
The list is for discussion of possible future LGBT outreach and partnership work, increasing the coverage
of LGBT history, issues and culture, and any other issues that specifically affect LGBT editors.
You don't have to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender to join.
A barely discernible amount of time after Gregory launched it on the WikiQueer servers, Wikimedia have decided to allow the list to be created on lists.wikimedia.org instead.
Please feel free to join here instead:

Sorry about the confusion.
