This is the first major discussion I've witnessed on this list, so I
don't have anything to miss. Looking back, there's been some interesting
discussions (and some hilarious trolls), but as I'm trying to figure out
how to keep up with -devel, I guess I don't mind the quiet for now.

So far, yes definitely, by providing what so far seems to be a suitably
low-RTFM environment (#d-w) where I can ask questions and observe
others going through the same learning process.
One can learn quite a lot of the technical and legal aspects of Debian
by reading, due to the wealth of available information, but the culture
and traditions need actual human beings to convey, in my experience.

It's enocouraging me, at least, but even though the existence of DW
makes me feel more included, I think of the project more as
debian-friendly, partly due to having found it after the Age of Trolls
was mostly over, and partly because, having worked with code for seven
years, male-dominated environments per se aren't intimidating anymore.

Statistically, yes. Personally, still largely yes. Culturally, I don't
know yet, but I trust the opinion of those who do.
