Dear colleagues,
As for the 'Wikipedia: Mailing Lists' page [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mailing_lists ] I too would expect to see the gendergap list there. I propose it be described as follows - anyone can improve it, please - as this is wordy...:
"gendergap list focuses on female contributors' concerns, and topics likely to be of interest to people who are female, identify female, and those with particular interest in female voices. The female perspective is and was historically - and even in Wikipedia - minimized in multivariate ways not (yet) well understood. As such, gendergap is intended to be a safe place for controversial or difficult ideas and values."

Hi @all,
I recently mailed an inquiry to a wikipedia list and it seems to me that the thread that ensued might be interesting data for study, possibly in the light of gender gap issues
the thread starts here: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/pywikipedia-l/2012-May/007514.html
btw, let me know if you have any idea (or know of someone who might have) for the actual topic of my inquiry, I mean: how to figure out the right query and where start the query etc.
thanks & cheers, Claudia koltzenburg@w4w.net
