In my opinion, technical issues are largely non-gender oriented (kernel
compiling is the same be you boy or girl). It's just that women may be
turned off my the locker-room stuff of RTFM, vi vs emacs, pointless
flamge.
Hence techtalk is I guess a forum for discussion of technical issues
that is, whilst designed to be female friendly and probably female
dominated, at the very least a polite forum for technical discussion
from the beginner level up.
The issues list is mainly gender related issues, although I think there
have been unrelated threads.
Grrltalk, is, well, gendered in name, but mainly chat of any type (how
much chat can you make that is grrly?)
