basically we participate in mailing lists and share our code because we like to show off. Women are less interested in showing off. Simple. Also there are women who do contribute - more than you think, but find it difficult to appear on mailing lists and IRC due to the large number of jerks on these channels who start harassing them. -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ Foss Conference for the common man: http://registration.fossconf.in/web/
