Re: [Wikimedia-l] Exit Interview - Sue
Huh, I did not know that (I use Reddit maybe once a year at best). Perhaps that wouldn't be a bad thing though, if that means you are speaking directly to a relevant audience (men in an all male environment, about gender gaps).

Reddit is like the rest of the Internet: there are bits which are misogynist and horrible, and there are bits which are more progressive and inclusive on gender issues. r/mensrights or r/seduction are a hell of a lot creepier than, say, r/feminisms or r/lgbt or, indeed, some technical topic like r/python. If Sue were to do an IAmA (and that's kind of up to her), there'd probably be some sexist assholery and some people who want to rant about the perceived injustice of wanting to encourage women to edit Wikipedia (I know, pass the smelling salts, what a radical idea), but there's a solution for that: report it to the mods and move on. -- Tom Morris http://tommorris.org/ ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
[Wikimedia-l] Exit Interview - Sue
Hi A few weeks ago MZMcBride proposed an exit interview for Sue on Meta. I believe his intention was something similar to Reddit's IAmA. I thought that this was a good idea and supported it. Sue has been at the helm for a long while, it would be interesting to get her reflection on all the changes, and give everyone who missed the last IRC office hour session, a chance to ask any lingering questions. Sue graciously accepted to do an exit interview a couple of weeks ago. The page is already set up on Meta[1] for this, and we have a few questions already. So far, things are organizing themselves pretty well with everyone voting on what questions are finally picked. Please understand that we want this to be a slow process, so everyone has time to see the questions and it can take weeks to get your answer. I would like to invite everyone reading this to have a look at the page. Please feel free to post your questions or vote for the ones already listed. Signpost, Wikinews or any other project/group that wants to use the exit interview is welcomed to follow that page and add to it. Thanks to MZ for getting things rolling on Meta and Sue, for accepting to do this.
