True, it will only keep women in the fringes and is not helpful to anyone.

It is mentioned briefly in the FAQ & Get-involved page. Does anyone
think this message is not self-evident there?

If so, folks are requested to send in draft material that they want to
add to the site.
Use the wiki for the same and send a mail to this list with a link so
others can have a look and edit.

There is also a UW website registered as a product[0] using a
versioning system -Bazaar-  where we store the webpages, the UW page
translations etc.  Note, its not meant to store translations of
K/Ubuntu or Gnome software, only the UW webpages we have on the server
are stored there.

Why ? It allows anyone with a Launchpad account (even those not on the
mailing list) to file bugs, request changes, submit changes, or even
hold polls for
art submissions (our logo for example) or something else. I may be
missing stuff but I dont know the full potential of LP as yet.

Hope I covered that... or am I missing something?
