The answer is we have real idea how gay friendly the projects are, but LGBT Wikimedians have been doing a lot more outreach recently and we think this is great evidence for our increasing diversity. realised that most folks with an interest in LGBT matters were either unaware that anything had changed in the last year, or just had not got around to finding out where to go for more information (apart from asking me). So, here are 4 new global resources created in the last 12 months for you to investigate, share with friends or bookmark for later: * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_LGBT If you are interested in discussing and helping with LGBT related open knowledge content, projects, partnerships, issues or events then you can find out more about what's going on and contribute new proposals here. * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:LGBT_Free_Media_Collective This is a Commons wikiproject to encourage more LGBT friendly photos and other media for use on all projects. So if you have an archive of photos from LGBT events, or are part of an organization with educational media to release, this might be a good place to find out how to share them with the world. * https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/lgbt This is a managed email list for any LGBT interested Wikimedians to safely bounce around new ideas, raise questions, discuss ways of increasing LGBT participation in Wikimedia projects and general coordination. It is low volume, with around 3 threads a month at the moment. Drop an email to one of the list admins if you want to know more about how it is managed before joining up. * irc://irc.wikimedia.org/wikimedia-lgbt Our friendly open IRC channel. Good for chat about LGBT projects and recent news, though you may need a lot of patience and wait a few hours for replies - others logged in might be asleep, the other side of the planet, or working and will not see your message until home time. But it's not a dating line, other sites are available for that :-) Cheers, Fae -- faewik(a)gmail.com http://j.mp/faewm Guide to email tags: http://j.mp/mfae
