Dear Colleagues,
I am too busy right now to weigh in on everything I'd like to; I have expertise on
gender and diversity, which is why I'm here.
I am offering the gendergap list to my Wikipedia class (university) students effective
next week, so please anticipate new "faces." The greatest concentration will be
female, but I am pleased we have a diverse group, ethnically, linguistically, and
culturally. Please be kind to our newcomers; we may all make some mistakes while coming
to understand Wikipedia's liberties and constraints. I will not assign the list in
terms of coursework, but I want (especially female) students to know this forum exists.
Some students will have staying power; I see it as a shared privilege to encourage all
students demonstrating an inclination to get involved with Wikipedia contributing. Thank
you in advance for supporting new subscribers to this list, and the goal of greater gender
and diversity equity in Wikipedia.
