This has been discussed previously. The Ubuntu-Women Wiki on the main
Ubuntu Wiki is not used anymore, which is why the top of it has a link to
the new Ubuntu-Women.org page.

I believe the hold-up in actually removing information from that old wiki
and putting up redirects was that we didn't want to "just delete it" since
some translation work had been done on it and we were toying with the idea
of moving that part to the new website as well.

Nothing has been said about this lately though - thoughts?

I don't believe any women who are on the Ubuntu-Women Planet are Ubuntu
Members. I am not sure what the original purpose of having our own Planet
was, I think it was just to increase exposure and to show that there are
smart women out there writing about technical stuff.
