Its women, not girls. I guess the 13 year old cheer squad can sign up, but they are wanting to incorporate "Women."

Its like saying Gnome is made of "Boys." Now some younger people are involved because the community is not agist, but WTF osnews, its "Women."

What are you talking about? The most handsome people in Gnome community are Havoc and Nat. Both younger than me. In other words, "boys".

Yeah, problem is, they're all straight - oh, and Miguel de Icaza looks like my cousin; so sure, maybe in Kansas, that might been seen as a turn on, but in my neck of the woods, it would be classed as creepy.

Its murpheys law, all the good men are either straight, taken, or overseas, far, far away.

It's a simple alliteration, I'm sure. I don't think it's any reason to release the hounds. "GNOME needs girls" has a much better ring to it than "GNOME needs women" or "GNOME needs females".
