For a pet project, I'm looking to list out some women who were active and influential in the web from 1995-2002, and not coming up with very many. Enlighten me, please?

am in the middle of setting up a private site with collaborative tools and forums. will ping y'all this weekend

Suggestion: I really admire the @500womensci model of setting up nodes geographically. For an OG women in tech history project, integrating a node model means more people can participate/connect with each other IRL locally, esp. as many have moved over the years.

I think Open Atrium is a great option as both a short + long term solution @blogdiva -- and to correct myself @500womensci calls their local groups "pods" -- "nodes" are definitely a nod to Drupal. As an online::IRL organizing case study, women scientists are leading the way :)

I'd like to work on bios. Do y'all think we work on bios on a wiki we host/use as a feeder for explicit Wikipedia entries? This makes us a primary source (I think) as well as drives search to yield more equitable results. Or do y'all think it's better to go directly to Wikipedia?

For me my wikipedia post is up. I think it would be helpful to have a centralized location of bios. I think folks should make sure they can edit as well that is really helpful part of it all. I fight to prove your history will be going on in the background.

You read my mind - I think we should all help each other re Wikipedia entries
