This false equivalency gets bandied around quite a lot in academic
circles (maybe elsewhere, but I lead a sheltered life). Let me assure
you that there is a significant difference between what goes on in a
standard pat leave and what goes on in a standard
I also recommend the work done in the UK by Simon Tanner on measuring the
impact of digitization projects and programs. There are two publications, one
very recent and information about them can be gotten to from Simon's blog:

If what you mean is if everyone agrees with you that a group created for
women in tech is bad, then, no, pretty much nobody else here agrees with
you.

do, however, want to make one factual point:
I believe the problem is that you somehow read that initial post proposing the
IRC group as saying it would be exclusively for women. As far as I can tell,
no one else read it that way. If that is your only concern, I believe you can
be reassured.

HI all,
I've owned the code4lib.org since 2005 and have been thinking it might
be wise for to transfer ownership of it to someone else. Sometimes I
forget to pay bills, and miss emails, and it seems like the domain

I'm for individual ownership and management over organizational.
Organizations tend to not have written documentation, and to rely on
institutional memory. I see two things going wrong: Contact at OSU leaves

I definitely see what you're saying, but think there are pro's and con's
both ways.
OSU is already responsible for the bulk of our infrastructure too,
adding the DNS would be minor.
But there are definitely pro's (as well as con's) to individual and/or
non-institutional
Pay for it shouldn't be an issue. It's like $10 a year to register the
domain, right? So, don't make a big deal out of OSU paying for it. The
fee is negligible.
The key concern is how committed to OSU is Ryan Ordway, and what's the
climate there like. I see this as transferring to the people
