Re: [Wikimedia-l] surveys of active female editors?

2015-01-20 Thread Andreas Kolbe
+1.

Here are some more questions that I would be interested in having answers
to:

-- What do women who are presently editing find most demotivating about
contributing to Wikipedia?

-- Have they ever thought of throwing in the towel, and what were the
reasons?

-- Based on past experience, what aspect of Wikimedia/Wikipedia culture
would be most likely to cause them to stop editing at some point in the
future?

-- What change, if any, would they welcome most to feel good about
contributing?

You'd need a male control group for comparative work, to establish whether
any of the answers are gender-specific.

Crossposted to gendergap list. (Maybe someone with access to the research
mailing list might like to crosspost this thread there as well.)
