Announcements:

• Who are the most overlooked and interesting Women in Red? We've no idea,
  but we're putting together our list of the 100 most interesting ex-Women in Red.
  We are creating the list to celebrate 10 years of Women in Red and we hope to present it at Wikimania.
  We are ignoring the obvious, so do you have a name or subject we should consider?
  Can you suggest a DYK style hook?
  If you are shy about editing that page, you are welcome to add ideas and comments on the talk page.
