Wikipedia has the following to say: "In modern French, the interpunct
is sometimes used for gender-neutral writing, as in « les salarié·e·s »
for « les salariés et les salariées » [1]."  I personally picked it up
after someone mentioned it in the IRC.

More generally speaking, there are few conventions that are really
widely agreed upon.  In my own country, there's at least three
competing standards, so obviously borrowing from the French and
introducing a fourth is the only right solution.
