I try to use "one" and "we" .
I used to use "one" as well, but after a while it starts looking weird. for now I settled for "(s)he", but I wondered if there's a nice widely adopted option like the Swiss use "*Innen": e.g. "StudentInnen" means "Studenten und Studentinnen"
Don Knuth at the Q&A session at Oxford 1999 (reprinted in TeX's 2^5 anniversary): "And I also go through every paper and put it into the form in which I would like it to be remembered. So if a paper was was written in the 70s and I used sexist pronouns, I change that; I try to rework it so that instead of saying 'he did it', I'll say 'they did it' or something. Also I change 'which' to 'that' a lot.
