Women's issues will be part of discussions.
They are not independent of technology and technology adoption.
So making it a FOSS mailing list guideline is not all right and then
the guidelines will be meaningless.

And guidelines should in fact stress on these aspects.
So the previous version should be used with minor modifications.

No, keep all these. Guidelines should be clear on problems like these.
Govts can close down our site on the basis of flimsy excuses.

Ideally guidelines should have more examples. In the previous version
there is one example only.


We abandoned the goal of having a Simple + Detailed guideline, and
your edited version 51 lacks simplicity and misses out on too much.

So the previous version should be expanded a bit and would be ideal .
