I'd like to propose that the gendergap be forked. The main list would be for women and transgendered who want to work together to help increase female participation on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Foundation projects. The fork list would be for male allies who want to work towards a similar goal.
There already is the WikiChix [1] list just for female editors. There were two problems with it. One was the difficulties in ensuring only females joined, and the other was inactivity. How would a fork of the gendergap list avoid those issues?
