That's the whole point of the project - to get women working in Debian. Since we're not moving fast enough for you, how would you like to help? I can send several things your way that need to be translated into French. Or would you like to help host a bug squashing party? Introduce women to the Debian BTS and QA? Maybe give a tutorial on package maintenance or cdbs or some such? Help us write man pages for Debian? I look forward to your assistance. :) > Male opinion is that it is the first time that a debian-list is not > created in a pure tecnical objective.

I fear you don't understand our strategy or purpose. If you're interested in learning, I'd be pleased to tell you more. Unfortunately, your abrasive tone and assumptions are not confidence inspiring. Miluz, we have the same goals. If you weren't on the defensive from the beginning, you might not have missed this. -- off the chain like a rebellious guanine nucleotide http://double-helix.org
