[diversity-talk] wikipedia diversity conference

[Steven Johnson]

Alyssa,
Thanks for updating the list. While you're at the conference, I'd be
interested in knowing the role of education & outreach play in diversity
efforts. They're obviously linked, but I'd like to know what strategies and
tactics work, what can we implement, and what sorts of resources we need.
Best,

There are two types of people in the world. Those that can extrapolate from
incomplete data.
