Hi,
"I don't think there will be objections by the rest of the www team about adding a /debian-women/ dir, and I volunteer to do it, but to be sure I added debian-...@lists.debian.org in CC (but please maintain the reply on -women)." There is no objections, agree with that. Both mail adresses (debian-...@lists.debian.org; debian-women@lists.debian.org) works; you addded it. P.S. I saw an intwerview with Meike (I think Raphael Hertzog wrote it), if you agree i would like to translate it and publish it on some digital magazines and websites about Debian, Ubuntu and some others distros.
