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! 
Jami
