Rather than just set up a channel and hope that people show up, why
don't we try a weekly IRC meeting at a specific day and time. I guess
#wikimedia-gendergap would be the logical channel name (unless someone
has another idea). Any suggestion for a day and time? Should we log the
discussion to post elsewhere or keep it "off-the-record"?

Well, it is an excellent opportunity to talk without thinking and get
into trouble, but as I seldom bother with IRC, I would generally be a
no-show. I would go ahead, but unless a regular crew of women

will be a bust.
Again, the point is to encourage dialogue and partnership with all
genders. I'm quite impressed with how diverse IRC actually is. And if
you're not participating, then you need not worry ;) It's also
another tool for female editors to utilize, and once you show people
how to use IRC (I hadn't used it in over 10 years, until yesterday,
and all I needed was a little guidance), it's just another place for
people to have community.
I just think it'd be cool to have a place called home for those of us
interested. Just like we have this mailing list (which seems rather
male dominated, too!). :)
