Yep, we've got three women on the new committee. There's been a concerted 
effort in the past year to bring in more women, particularly with 
the "women's coffee and cake" sessions prior to the main SLUG meeting. I 
don't count, but I think we now get around 5 women per meeting, sometimes 
more. I don't know about mailing list participation, but there are a few 
women who are prolific posters and very helpful.
