Following recent discussions on wikien-l where a number of women said they were not comfortable contributing to the discussion, a new mailing list has been created for female wiki editors to discuss issues of gender bias in wikis and ways to encourage more female editors, and just as a place that females can feel more comfortable posting to.
Personally, like others, I'm slightly saddened that there is a need for this. However, there *being* a need for it, satisfying that need is the right thing to do. Hopefully one day the list will disband from lack of use.
