[Gendergap] Hello

[Christine Moellenberndt]

Hi everyone...

I'm Christine, and i'm an employee of the Wikimedia Foundation.  I work 
in the Community Department in Reader Relations.  I'm particularly 
interested in issues surrounding new editors and am following several 
initiatives we've got going to try and increase our numbers of editors 
in general.  I'm a fairly infrequent editor on the projects as a volunteer.

I'm also a graduate student in Applied Anthropology, writing my thesis 
on Stakeholder Relations in Web 2.0.  It's a fancy way of saying i'm 
studying how online communities interface with the company (or 
companies) who own/run their web homes.  I'm not studying Wikipedia in 
particular, but i think the information i'm gathering will be useful to 
all different kinds of online communities.

Looking forward to the discussions on the list!
