Anthere,
Remember that, so far as we have been able to tell, there _is_ a disproportionate majority of male Wikimedia project users...
I am quite certain that I have met more Wikimedians than anyone else, and I am quite pleased to report on what I think may be a historic first in the history of our projects.
I was sitting at a table at a meetup in Hamburg a couple of days ago and there were 5 women and 4 men at the table. A majority female discussion at Wikipedia? Cool.
Ok, I guess this happened once before when Angela, Anthere and I had a face-to-face board meeting. :-)
It is my estimate based on attending technology conventions and Wikimedia meetups that Wikipedia is less male dominated than free software and tech generally, but still male dominated to an unfortunate extent.
