I prefer the rules that Linuxchix has at the moment:
1) Be polite
2) Be helpful
actually. Perhaps in the issues FAQ, or even in posts to techtalk, there
could be a discussion on men's and women's approach to demonstration of
knowledge and ignorance.
See, I think the men on the techtalk list are really very polite and
helpful :) and I don't want to scare off friendly men who are willing to
help.
Perhaps we should try the approach where the knowledgable women on the
list make a concious effort to answer more often.
And also, if a woman posts 'I'm not sure if this is right' and she is,
post agreement. This way, you encourage continued posting.
Mary.
