That's a shame. We could use a bit of female input in a predominantly male wiki. Get over the uncomfortable feeling and speak your mind. I want to hear those female thoughts on the mailing list.

Following recent discussions on wikien-l where a number of women said they were not comfortable contributing to the discussion, a new mailing list has been created for female wiki editors to discuss issues of gender bias in wikis and ways to encourage more female editors, and just as a place that females can feel more comfortable posting to.
It's called WikiChix - named after LinuxChix, the women-oriented community for Linux users. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LinuxChix
If you are female and interested in wikis, I would like to encourage to join the mailing list at http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikichix-l
There's also a wiki at http://wikichix.org/ - let me know your username if you'd like an account there. Some of the pages are openly editable, so even if you're not female, you are welcome to post your comments at http://wikichix.org/wiki/Comments
The FAQs for the related communities at http://wikichix.org/wiki/WikiChix#Related_communities answer a lot of questions about why this was created, so please read those for more information until we have our own FAQ.
