Hi guys
I apology if the issue has already been covered (I do not follow the list with 100% attention). I am looking for *any* study, stats, reports, which would have been made in the past or is ongoing regarding the use of Wikimedia projects and/or the use of Wiki software generally, by specific groups of people such as: * women * poorly educated people * people with mental disabilities * people with physical disabilities * people living in poor suburbs in "so-called rich" countries * people deeply socially disconnected
In particular with regards to how Wikimedia projects or the use of wiki software/concept might have improved their situation (better integration in society for example).
Any little bit might help. Do not hesitate to contact me privately if it is not a feedback directly in the scope of this list.
Thanks in advance
I'm glad to read about a more wide concept of gap, not focused only in gender gap. Why there is not a general mailing list for any class of gap?
I'm trying to compile info about any posible biases and gaps here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Emijrp/Systemic_bias Work in progress.
Sorry, but I have not read much about physical disabilities, only a couple of threads about enabling/disabling/modify captcha while registration for blind people.
