[insert stub about diversity in python here, and link to diversity statement]
There's a mailing list and archives, though the latter are only open to subscribers. It's not hard to subscribe though!

Other Diversity Statements
Dreamwidth's Diversity Statement and their Guiding Principles
RailsBridge - guidelines, more than "a statement" (top left on the page linked).
Various Links - not yet classified
In the first post to the Diversity mailing list, Steve Holden posted a link to Remixing Angie Byron to create the next Million Mozillians asking it would apply to the Python community.
Universal Design and how it can improve design for everyone. Parallels to how diversity can benefit everyone too?
Derailing for Dummies on the various ways discussions can be derailed, how to spot them, convenient names for talking about them. (Note: "... for Dummies" is a popular series of books (at least in the US) and uses "Dummies" in a some-what self-deprecating way. I've personally often found that the "for Dummies" books are very good introductions. --DougPhilips)
Google's Diversity Delegates Programme - Some of what Google is doing.
TeX Users Group's Bursary Fund description - does not specifically address diversity, just those who might need assistance, but there is probably a correlation.
Gender interactions - a continuum where one end leads to rape - This is not just a Western issue, cultures around the world are overwhelmingly patriarchal. How we interact in more civilized ways is not irrelevant, but starts the slope ending in this kind of abhorrent behavior. Why the "little stuff" matters.
