IMO those lists are probably sufficient for women-only mailing lists. I
don't think we need to fracture d-w, especially given its "recent"
amount of inactivity.
On the other hand, are there women reading this who are (still?)
uncomfortable with the climate of Debian? My feeling is that it's
improved since, oh, 2002, but I'm less involved than I used to be so I
can't get a good read on things.
Topic: I think the conference idea sounds awesome, Marga. If you do it
I'll try my hardest to make it down there.
