So as I was replying to Tim, it occurred to me that there wasn't much pleasure or recognition to be gained from working in the trenches on the culture of Wikipedia or the gender gap problem as a whole. Individuals are most likely to have bans, blocks and battle scars to show for their effort.

So perhaps the task force, the list, or a willing chapter could establish an award or two to be given to those who invest their volunteer time on this issue? It would be nice if folks like Sarah or Carol or others could point to real life recognition to say "this is a real problem, I'm doing real work, and real people and organizations recognize and respect what I'm doing."

Perhaps such awards already exist?
