I&#39;d be on board for a gendergap channel. I&#39;m nearly always on IRC, and I&#39;ve love the opportunity to coach new women or just chat with old gendergap types of both sexes. Office hours-style meetings are less attractive to me, as they&#39;re nearly always chaotic enough to be almost useless.<br>

Any thoughts on having a gender gap or women&#39;s outreach IRC channel?<br><br>I think it&#39;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. <br>


<br>Or is that opening a can of worms that shouldn&#39;t be opened? <br><br>I like the idea, but, if it&#39;d be just me sitting in a room by myself...that&#39;d be no fun! <br><br>-Sarah<br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><br>
