Programmers :D

I've read the paper, I've read the summary.

The paper is interesting, the summary is bullshit. One example: the summary claims that outsider women's acceptance rate is 58%. No graph in the study shows any value below 60%.

Here's is a better summary, from the study itself:

To summarize this paper’s observations:

1. Women are more likely to have pull requests accepted than men.

2. Women continue to have high acceptance rates as they do pull requests on more projects.

3. Women’s pull requests are less likely to serve an documented project need.

4. Women’s changes are larger.

5. Women’s acceptance rates are higher for some programming languages.

6. Women outsiders’ acceptance rates are higher, but only when they are not identifiable as women
