Some of the problems with d-w that I first mentioned in 2004:
1. no stated goals and disagreements between its members
about what they should be;
2. ignores all the other imbalances in debian - can it really
be effective to address only one at a time?;
3. no basic research into the one imbalance they do care
about - it's unverifiable anecdotes and wild hunches, sometimes
ignoring well-respected research, such as about language use;
4. inconsistent approach to its own advice - if you are seen
as a friend, you can break them all when attacking an "enemy";
5. seemingly-widespread praise for discriminating projects
such as linuxchix (although at least one list member compared
linuxchix to a female toilet) and the idea of a gender-based
"segregated space" within Debian.

I reviewed the site at http://women.alioth.debian.org/ in May
2006 and it had some goals, but they seemed rather contradictory
and rather hard to measure.  Some things were still on-topic
for it only because they have female participants and they
still "would like to work together" with groups like linuxchix.
There was still no basic research AFAICT and I'd no desire to
verify whether they follow their own advice about discussion
now or wish for a segregated space.  The project's web site
seemed barely active.
