This is a huge problem industry-wide, not just w/ boost, which I personally would like to see fixed. AFAICT, no one currently knows how to solve the root problem, or even what the root problem actually is. If you can solve this, then a lot of universities and companies would probably be beating down your door for consulting help.
A few years back there was a (small) 'movement' within some OSS projects to tackle exactly this problem. To the best of my knowledge Debian was one of the first projects to institutionalise female collaboration within the debian-women subproject, see http://women.debian.org/ and http://lists.debian.org/debian-women/. Unfortunately I don't know the current state of affairs. Following those links you may find some further information. cheers, aa -- Andreas Ames | Programmer | Comergo GmbH | ames AT avaya DOT com Sitz der Gesellschaft: Stuttgart Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart - HRB 22107 Geschäftsführer: Andreas von Meyer zu Knonow, Udo Bühler, Thomas Kreikemeier
