it's getting better within open source projects, at least the ones i travel in. in KDE we have a number of female contributors, from coders to usability experts to documenters. i work with them on a regular basis and it's truly an open environment for them these days. it used to be a bit rough for them in the unmoderated areas like IRC, but even that's cleaned up in recent years and they are treated and respected as peers. and it's not just the women who have benefited from this: many of these women have unique skills and viewpoints that they bring with them to the project and their contributions are invaluable.. -- Aaron J.
