And I've noticed that someone, Francesca if I'm not mistaken, has just set up wiki.d.o/Teams/Women as a redirect to that page, thanks! > > advertise it a bit into NM documentation, of course as a fully > > *optional* step, and just for those who request it explicitly.

Note that my point is not stating that the current one is not good, quite the contrary, I'm just trying to figure out which kind of "blessing" d-w activities might benefit from.

I agree on both. Once more, I was just giving my point of view, as an external to d-w (shame on me!), as how I feel the project is _currently_ perceived. Mailing d-d-a seems very very easy to do ATM, since you already have the text basically, and I believe it can be quite beneficial to your activities and their visibility. > > More generally, please keep in mind that for me the kind of activities > > pushed by d-w are activities it is worth give resources to, so just be > > creative and let me know how I can help you with Debian resources! > > > You don't state what way you would be prepared to help nor your > involvement with the Debian project as a whole? > Are you involved in any other way? > Perhaps it would be useful for us to know. I apologize for this; you're totally right that, being my first post on this list, I should have spent a paragraph on introductions. As others have noticed, I'm currently covering the role of Debian Project Leader, so the resources I was referring to are those available to the project (some money, essentially, and not even that many). Note that I'm very well aware that they are probably not what you need the most, but I still wanted to let you know that I consider d-w important and I'm ready to invest resources on it. Now it's up to all of us to be creative on how to use them :-) Thanks for all the feedback, Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -o- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
