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.
Personally, like others, I'm slightly saddened that there is a need
for this. However, there *being* a need for it, satisfying that need
is the right thing to do. Hopefully one day the list will disband from
lack of use.
... whoa. Care to rephrase that?
