Thank you, Heather! This is what we run into on the WP GGTF every time we open something up for discussion.
All I wanted to discuss the possibility of such a group. Are there any policies that would make it impossible? How would we determine who is a woman? Could inclusion/exclusion be automated? What might the benefits of such a group be? The liabilities? What would its scope be? It's goals?
Can we discuss this?
