Worth reading the rumblings over at @ProgHist: is GitHub not an inclusive space? https://github.com/programminghistorian/jekyll/issues/152#issuecomment-155380321 …
@j_w_baker @ProgHist Part of prob is sadly "tweeting about [..] gender disparity and encouraging women [..] contributors" as others said.

@o_guest@ProgHist I suspect flagging up when things are getting WEIRD can't hurt either http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2013/05/weird_psychology_social_science_researchers_rely_too_much_on_western_college.html … -
@j_w_baker@ProgHist Yes, but I don't think discussing it helps at all with the actual invitees - only serves to induce stereotype threat. -
@j_w_baker@ProgHist IMHO to attract more under-represented people promote relevant role-models & create safer spaces (extremely important). -
@o_guest@j_w_baker@ProgHist One of the messages we’re getting is that the potential role models are all over-stretched. A challenge. -
@Adam_Crymble@j_w_baker@ProgHist Hmm, in what way? They are tired? What do you ask them to do? -
@o_guest@j_w_baker I don’t think too tired. Just that they get asked to do everything and there isn’t enough to go round. -
@Adam_Crymble@j_w_baker Ah, so to clarify I was not meaning you ask them to do anything - merely to say to others " hey look they exist".
