Dear Lennart,
This is fantastic! I think it does a lot to prove just how useful a small,
regular, focused workshop model is. I'm very impressed by the amazing
things that you've accomplished this year! Congratulations!

"Despite the ongoing pandemic of violence against women, the threats
online and the harassment on the streets, women’s voices assumed an
unprecedented power in 2014, writes Rebecca Solnit."
I hear you. But I think there are women who would be interested in a
women-only space. There are plenty of places on-wiki to talk with men only,
or women and men, but no place to talk with women only. For some women,
especially women who have been abused or harassed, a women-only space feels
safer,
My question was about having an on-wiki, women-only project. Just
discussing if/how it could be done.

Okay, deep breath. I have to say this... I am not a fan of women only groups
and I probably wouldn't join.
I don't live in a women only world and I wouldn't want to.
Yes we do get some men on GGTF and elsewhere who are either MRA and would
rather see us all rot, or they fall into the category
Thank you Fæ for your experiences (especially the cautionary tale told by
the first one). I would like to also offer a more theoretical caveat, to wit
that any sort of "women-only" space within the Wikimedia framework may with
even the best of intentions backfire, or at least fail to meet its go
So perhaps the question is how many women would be interested in
participating in off-wiki...I'm not really sure entirely what exactly it
is, although hypothetically it's mentoring and... well, I keep coming back
to I'm not sure what it is.
I have a hard enough time keeping up with my current load
Thank you, Heather! This is what we run into on the WP GGTF every time we
open something up for discussion.
All I wanted to discuss the possibility of such a group. Are there any
policies that would make it impossible? How would we determine who is a
woman? Could inclusion/exclusion be automated?

beware of driving dissent off wiki
it can come back 300 votes strong
and blithe assertions of MfD would be taken as incivility then.
i think we should not be engagin

Thanks Lennart!
A blog post would be awesome about this -I'm sure the program evaluation
folks at WMF would love to see it on the Wikimedia blog. Having it as a
blog would make it easier to share with a wider audience off this list.
Great work that continues to be done in Sweden!! :)

Hello,
Since this is the start of the new year, let me just shortly let you know (or
remind you) about what one thing we've done in Sweden last year and a little
about what we've learned.
We started in March in Gothenburg, the second largest city of Sweden, to hold
weekly editathons. The topic
The problem of how to create a truly safe space is a tricky one. I
would like to relate two difference experiences, both more than 20
years ago but still cause me to reflect on how best to achieve it:
When I was an undergraduate fresher in a well known London college, I
was puzzled by the lack of

You don't see anything slightly wrong with this idea? Really?!?
