People who Volunteer/contributer directly to ubuntu-women? I think it would be
nice to add a link to their blogs or whatever. 

I think it would be great if we could we also have profiles of women who are
actively involved in Ubuntu besides just as a "normal user" I think having
profiles of successful women is very helpful in raising the profile of women.
The Debian-Women project has such profiles:
http://women.alioth.debian.org/profiles/

In fact, the debian-women site is very good and their project has been
successful. I think u-w can learn a lot from it.

I think this would be very helpful.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, I wonder if this would be outside the scope of
actual women in ubuntu stuff?

If nothing like this exists in ubuntu already perhaps ubuntu-women could
spearhead a project to get some sort of official "fresh projects, news in
Ubuntu lists/planet/IRC" section of the normal ubuntu site.

This would be great.

Very good idea.

I am unable to commit to regular maintenance tasks, but right now I'm between
projects I would be happy to help out with some HTML to launch the site. Plus I
did development work with Zope (which plone is built on) at a previous job, so
I'm familiar with with it.

I can also contribute to proof-reading of the site content if there is a need,
since english is my native language and I have expereince with this.
