		<description>&lt;i&gt;Has that had any actual effect, or is it just a collection of online links?&lt;/i&gt;

It&#039;s hard to say, obviously. I know that there have been quite a few people writing to con organisers asking if they have a harassment policy, and if so what it is (myself among them) and then forwarding that information to the public database. I&#039;d like to think that this would help motivate con organisers into acting, but as to whether it has or not... well, I guess you&#039;d have to ask them.

I do wish there was more widespread publicity about CAHP, since that would certainly make it more effective... but short of spamming the newsarama boards or something, I don&#039;t see how Girl Wonder could do much more to facilitate that.</description>

		<description>I admittedly did see them at DragonCon, but the presence was some info leaflets on the Girl Wonder table (which I didn&#039;t know existed until Sunday due to its placement). I&#039;d hope it and other discussion had more people looking out for each other at the con, but I dunno how you could measure that on sight.</description>

		<description>I was asking this question because I was trying to get at whether all this justified outrage had any effect, and whether it was a valuable way to attempt to change things. 

On the one hand, even bringing more awareness to the issue is a net plus; on the other, one doesn&#039;t want to be considered sound and fury with no result.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s the ongoing Back-Up Project - http://www.backupproject.org/ - but I&#039;m not sure how large and visible they are at cons.</description>
