I was just reading a post of 'princess leia'(on live.linuxchix.org) about the irc habit of joining a forum with 'hi guys!' when there ARE women present. So she expect folks to not address a crowd as all male when there may not be in fact all men and how some men object to her voicing her displeasure with their lack of awareness. And then you bring up the idea that you find a 'gender' field not relevent to LDAP developer data. Do you think it relevent to keep stats of 'women', do you want to keep a field that states the desired way you want to be addressed in email, mail or irc? or other situation-specific ways? These are certainly unclear issue for me.
