Nobody want's to do anything to the d-w project as a whole. D-W will go on
not matter what. The question is simply and only if we want to move the
contents that were put in the Debian-Women wiki when it was still in use
into the general Debian wiki instead of having it rot away somewhere in an
unlinked and unused wiki installation.

I fully agree that the internet contains a whole lot of people that range
from annoying to plain offensive. However:
1) This is Debian, not CouchDB and not Ruby
2) I don't think creating a parallel infrastructure/community is the
solution to the problem. We should show face and not hide away in some
kind of virtual gated community.

We can of course re-activate the D-W wiki, re-link it in our pages, clean
it up, upgrade the software etc. etc. However the reason it fell into
oblivion in the first place is that D-W currently doesn't really produce
much content, leave alone content that is so plenty and so dynamic that it
needs a whole wiki to keep track of it. So, I currently don't see we
should take the trouble.
Best,
Meike
