Hi everyone,
Just curious, are you familiar with this: http://wikipatia.com/wikipatia_wiki_hypatia.html
It doesn't exist yet, and I've been following their tweets. Just curious if anyone knows the wiki woman who is developing this :) (I'm also curious if this will involve pulling content from Wikipedia to build the wiki or if it'll be freshly written content, etc..)

I don't believe it will be pulling content from Wikipedia considering "2008 - 2012 Alpha Kitty, Ltd. All Rights Reserved". The content wouldn't meet our share-alike requirements unless those pages were specifically released. In addition, it doesn't appear like it will actually be a wiki, but I could be wrong since the site is still in development. In any case, it seems like an interesting site to follow.

I doubt you are wrong, but maybe a bit of outreach will help steer them towards setting up an open wiki.

I'd be surprised if STEMfem was a registered and globally protected trademarked name.
All by this lady; very repetitive:
