Hello,

I am not sure whether I understood well your first sentence - what is
a "gendered biography" of a Wikipedia language?

You use the term "editaton". What is this exactly? I met at least
three different uses:
* an informal meeting of Wikipedians, to sit together and work on
their laptops, with the goal of producing content
* a Wikipedia training course, for non Wikipedians
* a mixture of both, or a more formal meeting e.g. of Wikipedians with
GLAM people

Maybe you find information about the related work in the chapters via
the reports for the Annual Plan Grants.

Kind regards
Ziko
