one of the reasons why there are so few women in public foss forums is neanderthal MCP type comments like this. Apparently a lot of males are unable to believe that women can do things on their own - realise also, that many people have taken help in formulating proposals. I have helped people by giving ideas and helping to frame the proposal well. Also by pointing out what the mentors would accept. And some people i have helped have been accepted. Since they were male, no one raised an eyebrow. Indian women *can* and do contribute - or are you of the opinion that suparna's husband does her work for her?
