I stumbled across this site: http://www.phpwomen.org - they have a listing of open source projects and how to get involved with them. And drupal is not listed! http://www.phpwomen.org/wordpress/os-project-opportunities
Should I ask them to list us and if so does anybody have ideas for starting points like IRC etc?
:)

yes
yes phpwomen have an active IRC channel.
Once I praposed to add drupal to this list but that discussion didnt resulted well.
I know few pals from phpwomen community - we can take this to them once again.
Sree
That'd be great naxoc :) are
That'd be great naxoc :) are the starting points supposed to be general to Drupal (ie. not just Drupalchix links)?
I don't know how they want the starting points.
Should I just put the general entry points in? And do we have Drupalchix entry points at all?
There's
There's http://drupal.org/getting-involved for general starting out - it's supposed to be the main landing page, though I find http://drupal.org/getting-involved-guide easier to navigate from, and I would say also to search g.d.o for local user groups, as the meetups are a good in-point.
And then for DrupalChix, this group is the most central, and then the IRC channel #drupalchix too.
I tried to write some text
I tried to write some text that would fit into PHPwomens listing of projects. What do you think of something like this for Drupal?
Drupal is an Open Source CMS. Drupal powers a lot of websites all over the world and is known for flexibility and scalability.
The Drupal community has a quite high percentage of women involved, but we would love to have even more!
Website: http://drupal.org
IRC: freenode #drupal, #drupal-support, #drupalchix - drupalchix is our IRC channel for women.
There is a group for women on our groups site: http://groups.drupal.org/drupalchix
Here is a general guide to getting involved: http://drupal.org/getting-involved-guide
Drupal needs your help with:
- Patch reviews
- Development
- Testing
- Documentation
- IRC support
- Arranging events
- And much more!
