Re: [Gendergap] What is status of Foundation Gender Gap projects and relation to wikimedia Gender Gap project?

People in the know can answer when it's covenient next week, but since it's on my mind, posting now. As we write on Gender Gap Task Force main page: "In 2014 Wikipedia co-founder [[Jimmy Wales]] said the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] was "doubling down" its efforts to reach that goal and would be doing more outreach and software changes. Reference: http://www.bbc.com/news/business-28701772 Wikipedia 'completely failed' to fix gender imbalance, [[BBC]] interview August 8, 2014. So info on status of interns, paid staffers working on this, volunteer efforts, etc. and their relation to the Wikimedia Gender Gap Task force would be helpful. I know Wikimedia Gender Gap project which is not very active, though sub-projects like WikiWomen's Collaborative are doing some things. Reminder of temporary address of en.Wikipedia Gender Gap Task force's big list of resources which is relevant to the above and does in fact contain links where we can infer answers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Carolmooredc/My_Sandbox_1 is One reason I ask is I just put up this message at Wikimedia Gender Gap project but then started wondering about the issues above. *Should this project be listed on Outreach.wikimedia?? at **https://meta.wikimedia.org <https://meta.wikimedia.org>**/* *Talk:Gender_gap#Should_this_project_be_listed_on_Outreach.wikimedia.3F.3F* *https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page <https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page> links to GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums) and Wikimedia Education Portal (re: different countries) (as well as Best Practices and Success stories). Considering women are half the human race, it seems sensible to include this project there. It probably would bring more willing volunteers to outreach in general as well. I don't see any discussion of this on this talk page and only a link to Outreach Village Pump as a "good place to discuss outreach to women." * So clarifications and updates would be great and I'm sure lots of us are interested.
