Thank you Habib, Pyb, Pierre Selim and Mike !
Now moving to final selection...

Increasing female participation in Wikimedia projects
<gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
+1.
Here are some more questions that I would be interested in having answers
to:
-- What do women who are presently editing find most demotivating about
contributing to Wikipedia?
-- Have they ever thought of throwing in the towel, and what were the
reasons?
-- Based on past experience, what aspect of Wikimedia/Wikipedia culture
would be most likely to cause them to stop editing at some point in the
future?
-- What change, if any, would they welcome most to feel good about
contributing?
You'd need a male control group for comparative work, to establish whether
any of the answers are gender-specific.
Crossposted to gendergap list. (Maybe someone with access to the research
mailing list might like to crosspost this thread there as well.)

focuses on retaining editors for the cause of contributing contents from

further compliment opportunities such as the Wikipedia Zero Project
