Hi Jaime, and everyone,
+1!
That would definitely be useful for me as well. Since the education
programs I work with are relatively small, we can usually suss out some
data informally or through surveys — but it would be great to be able to do
more than say X number of our participants are women. Saying X amount of
content is from female editors, and being able to do more data analysis
that Jaime mentioned would be awesome and could help inform decisions we
make about Wikipedia Education Programs in the future :)

Hi, Wikimetrics folks!
I mentioned to Dan a while back that I would find it super useful if
gender (for those who self-identify on their user accounts) were
incorporated into the cohort information on Wikimetrics. Since this isn't
currently available, Dan mentioned asking others if they would find it
useful.
If you would find it useful to be able to pull the gender of your cohorts,
please let us know! I personally work with students and would like to see
how much content our women are adding to Wikipedia, if there are any
differences in editing behavior from a gender standpoint, which academic
disciplines draw more women onto Wikipedia, etc.
Thanks!
