Sorry, this is definitely OT for -vote. But I wanted to clarify the follwing comment, which has been made repeatedly on this thread, incase anyone is actually wondering about it. MJ Ray wrote:
I think it's a problem that most of the points under how to avoid being sexist haven't actually been done yet, while the other is merely a worry.
For people who are confused, I believe that MJ Ray is referring to the minutes of the Debian Women IRC meeting held on 16th Jan, which can be found here: http://women.alioth.debian.org/wiki/index.php/English/IRC16January2005 Specifically note the "Third question" in the summary at the top. There are four points. Of those, three are being done already, namely the first [1],[2] third [3][4][5] and fourth [6]. There are many other such references on the Debian Women webpages and mailing list, as well as wider Debian webpages and mailing lists - this is a selection of initial information, rather than an exhaustive list. How this can be interpreted as "most of the points under how to avoid being sexist haven't actually been done yet" is beyond me.
