Merry Christmas everyone! (Why so few girls BTW? Is monkeying around with a Suite so unladylike?) Few? That's understatement. :-) No, really, looking at female participation in bigger projects, like FF or KDE, you can clearly see that engagement is mainly (not entirely!) concentrated in more social areas like marketing (which is non-existent in our group), communication, community-building (think Test Pilot etc.) and the like. I'm not saying that's a bad thing; not at all. It's just fundamentally different from what the SM devs are doing (and like to do, for the most part). And just saying we need more women isn't enough, so much is clear. Someone would need to get some activity in the above areas started first before female participation could be expected or hoped for. Note that TB doesn't have too many women working on the project either AFAIK. You might find some parallels there.
