I've asked several times for a "review conlang" and I do note the names of
women
(where I can recognize them) on the list of subscribers.  But by
"participant" I meant
those who actually post to the list.  Compared to you men, we women are
relatively few, but this point is obvious and has been repeatedly made and
pondered.
Glad to know that Nora contributes to Lojban.  I'm sure there are many other
women I haven't detected who conlang.
