Re: sexism

replying again. I wasn't very conscious when I posted first time.

I've found Shelly to be a good canary in the mine, and gender issues
do appear a lot.

For the w3c, I'd suggest shifting someone into a role like "community
liason" (bet that exists already). With the remit that if all the
stuff is coming from male-white-north-europeans, there might be bad
tracking. A statistician for heaven's sake, little fat guy from
Shropshire.

Right now Shelley's claims of boys-own networks do actually stand.

Tim, Shelley was bothered that you didn't respond to her. Directors
hat off, human hat on.

Cheers,
Danny.
