Hi all
I'm new to this group, so "Hi" to everyone.

I co-facilitating the current WikiEducator workshop and I came across
the WikiMaster certification.

Now I am a great advocate of using gender-neutral terminology.

I know that master could be thought of as mastery of a skill/subject
but even so the term has a long history of being associate with male
activity, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master. With origins in
Medieval Guilds which of course were only open to men.

I would like to propose that a gender-neutral term be found.

For example WikiExpert, Guru, Principal, Champion, Pro, Virtuoso

What are your thoughts?

Best wishes

Carol
