Signal boost: academic in search of DW devs to interview
Related to my Why I think Dreamwidth is a special Free/Libre Open Source Software Development Environment entry, and already linked from the comments there: marcelle42 is writing a paper and looking for Dreamwidth developers:

Since there have been recent upsets with academics barging into fandom, and this is on the fringes, I feel it vaguely necessary for me to offer reassurance:marcelle42/![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marcelle42 has been around and about in DW volunteer circles forever, and prior to that in LJ volunteer circles. She is known to me, and she is solid. If we were local we would probably be drinking buddies or something.
She is looking to interview DW devs (and possibly other people familiar with DW's development culture) to learn about it, in order to attempt to determine what it is about Dreamwidth development that either attracts female developers, or (heh) does not repel female developers.
