Well, about that part of the topic, I think that what makes DW really specific is that it is actually *not* a female-dominated environment. Besides its main goal which is still and will hopefully ever be "bring more women to Debian", the DW project has cristallized a group of *people* who have this common goal and, as a natural side effect, show that Debian can *also* be a friendly environment for newcomers. This is why you'll also find a few men in the project and, because indeed this project has motivated several (male) DD's (and non DD), there are often more men than women in the project...:) We just try to avoid showing up to much (except people like myself who can't stop talking when they talk about their pet peeves projects) to keep a "decent" balance (that's not always true on IRC..:-))). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
