Ellen Pao, who helped shine a light on gender-discrimination issues in Silicon Valley with her lawsuit against a top venture capital firm, unveiled an advocacy group on Tuesday that focuses on diversity in the technology industry.

Project Include, which Pao helped start with other female technology leaders, will publish advice for companies to improve their inclusion initiatives. The group said it will suggest ways to recruit and hire a diverse group of workers, as well as provide advice on how to train, compensate, and retain those people. It will also help compile research on bias and offer an online forum for professionals to contribute ideas.
