[Foundation-l] [Wikichix-l] Moderating an open list

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
If the Wikichix are going to achieve their aim is; supporting women who 
are put off by the current Wikipedia atmosphere, there influence will be 
found in a women who start editing and who otherwise would not or become 
disenfranchised with our project. It is not necessarily their aim to 
address you or all men.

When you fail to grasp the examples of this problem as they are 
presented, the amount of traffic that this topic generates might serve 
as an indicator that there is an issue for many that needs to be addressed.

Thanks,
    GerardM
