Hello everyone
u:Alacoolwiki <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Alacoolwiki> and
myself worked on the portal page of the Gender Gap on meta.
Before :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gender_gap&oldid=19889900
New :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap
Why ? The former page was very very outdated.
So first task was to clean it up, remove outdated info
Second task was to look for more recent data, do a bit of digging around.
Third task was to reorganize the whole portal. This was done along the
same lines than the *Wikimedia Resource Center
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Resource_Center>.
*
How you can help ?
Please note that the goal is not necessarily to have regular information
being updated over there (because we do know it will not happen, right ?
:)),
but to serve as a hub to link to all resources, groups, initiatives led
within the community (and beyond). The current pages are by no means
fully updated. Feel free to jump in and add.
Please do NOT drop links and be done with it. Have a _curated approach_
to make it useful AND practical.
In particuliar, I hope that gender-gap oriented groups will make the
effort of adding their groups to the page listing them if it is found to
be missing :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap/Groups
And I hope that people leading initiatives will add them here :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gender_gap/Initiatives
I hope it can be useful and better reflect the diversity of our
mouvement and of the approaches we follow.
Last, I will outline that I am aware that the current design does not
permit translation. I gave much thinking about that and, in light of
former state of the page (very outdated) and former state of
translations (very very weak...), I decided to favor design and
useability :)
Cheers
