- Women in Technology Task Force
- List of Women in Technology International Hall of Fame inductees – expand, maintain
- See also: Women in Technology International – needs more references
- Draft:African American women in computer science – many to add
- Add bio pages to Category:Women in technology sub-categories (and maybe "Women in technology" itself) -- for example, there are only 18 pages in Category:Women Internet pioneers.
- Tech LadyMafia | Which leads me to ask - Can we even edit pages we're associated with? Is this something we can touch on for us newbies?
- Copy some items over from Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's History/Taskforces/Women in technology, under "Work to be done > Biographies," probably starting from "ENIAC Programmers and Developers - 1940s" on down (?)
- Girl Scouts "Intellectual Property" patch – add a mention of the IP patch to the Girl Scouts of the USA or GSCNC article (I think this patch deserves a couple of sentences in the GSUSA or GSCNC article, but I'm not positive, just wanted to make the suggestion) (and/or sthg about GSUSA "innovation badges"...?)
- (doesn't have a page) 2010 documentary Top Secret Rosies: The Female "Computers" of WWII by LeAnn Erickson (mentioned here: ENIAC: Recognition), about the six women who were the main programmers for "the first electronic general-purpose computer."
- Frances Spence – lacks a portrait-y photo
- Betty Holberton – lacks a portrait-y photo
- Marlyn Meltzer – lacks a portrait-y photo (also this article is pretty short)
- Ruth Teitelbaum – lacks a portrait-y photo (also this article is pretty short)
- Adele Goldstine – lacks a portrait-y photo
- Are there women in Category:Women computer scientists who aren't in Category:American computer programmers? (obviously not all of these individuals belong in both, but maybe some are missing -- just an idea to check)
- Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology
- Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Conference – says "The 2011 conference will be held in Portland, Oregon." – update or simply remove this detail b/c there's a link to the main article for this conference anyway.
- Anita Borg Institute Women of Vision Awards – lists award recipients but list is out of date – update or simply remove list b/c there's a link to the main article for these awards anyway.
- Anita Borg Institute Women of Vision Awards – table of award recipients is out of date; also, I think they've changed the award categories and renamed the overall awards to "Women of Vision ABIE Awards."
- Resources:
past award winners are listed on anitaborg.org and on women-of-vision.org
here's general info about the awards
