Any thoughts on having a gender gap or women's
outreach IRC channel?
I think it'd be nice to have an open hang out for those interested (of
any
gender) to participate in not only conversation, but, have live action
dialogue about articles of concern and so forth.
Or is that opening a can of worms that shouldn't be opened?
I like the idea, but, if it'd be just me sitting in a room by
myself...that'd be no fun!

Well, it is an excellent opportunity to talk without thinking and get
into trouble, but as I seldom bother with IRC, I would generally be a
no-show. I would go ahead, but unless a regular crew of women shows up it
will be a bust.
I think we have to get over the idea that bringing up some issue is
canvassing. It would be if there was an enforceable demand that each of
us take a particular action, but as experience shows, social pressure
does not get you far on Wikipedia.
