Ahhh, a topic worth talking about!  If we want more women in our
community, I very strongly believe that wikisource is our greatest
chance of bringing them in.  librarians and local studies in Australia
are mostly women, and they are usually led by women as well, who can
be good champions for our community.  It is a nice quiet environment,
the editing tasks are 'simpler', which provides a nice training ground
for newbies, and the ability to shine new light on old information
gels well with information workers who prefer to blog about insights
into old texts rather than fight to have their text added to
Wikipedia.
