Thank you for the heads up! I'm encouraging people on wikiHow to apply. We have a fairly balanced gender ratio in our community so I'm hoping that can bring a fresh perspective to the table. With wikiHow not being a Wikimedia Foundation project (though we do you MediaWiki) and that being 50% of the score, I really hope their applications still get some attention.

Just wondering if I should temporarily join a Wikipedia email list to share some concrete suggestions about improving compliance with various abused policies.
Found https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
Knowing at some point I'd end up mentioning gender issues if I joined, I wondered - have any lists discussed the gender gap issue much or at all since the initial flurry two years ago?

Hi Carol -
Wikien-l is generally a fairly low trafficked list, I think I get an email or two a month from it. Unfortunately as far as I know there hasn't been any terribly significant discussion of gendergap issues (barring the German flurry a while ago) in the recent past on public lists, although a number of different sets of people have been organizing to try to address different parts of the problem privately.
Best, Kevin Gorman
