The problem is not those who "complain", it's the image you project around. When you read something about a new and exciting javascript library, and you find something that upsets you (be it a girl on page 12 with no explanation of why it should be funny [as opposed to sexist], or non-compliant XHTML in the examples, or people using harsh words on the mailing-lists), you tend to stay away. Because you start suspecting that it's not as perfect at advertised, or because it gives you the impression that this is going to be yet-another big-boys women-unfriendly community. Some people in Debian has worked a lot on these issues, under the "Debian women" title (though it's not restricted to women's issues: a friendly community is friendly to all, if just only to timids). w/o further developing, I invite you to read http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Encourage-Women-Linux-HOWTO/ -- Fil _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
