News From ACM-W Chapters

Susan Rodger, ACM-W’s wonderful friend at Duke and CRA-W, launched a new Wikipedia project, “Notable Women in Computing”.  She also wrote a “how-to” guide with complete directions for creating a Wikipedia biography page and setting up a Wikipedia account, along with a database of Notable Women in Computing.  Finally, there is a spreadsheet that lists each woman and the status of her Wikipedia page.

Again, everything you need to know (including advice about selecting a woman and collecting information for a Wikipedia page) is a click away at http://www.cs.duke.edu/csed/wikipedia/

Adding a page or more is a perfect project for any of our ACM-W Chapters.  Leave a legacy from your chapter by authoring a page about your Notable Woman in Computing, a page that will be read by people all over the world.
