My personal opinion is that moving our wiki pages to the general wiki would be a positive thing. > 2) I don't think creating a parallel infrastructure/community is the > solution to the problem.

At the moment we already have more visibility than then, there's usually some entries in planet signed by women, and maybe we could achieve better visibility if we had more articles signed by women in the general wiki.
