This document discusses how to increase gender diversity and women's involvement in open web initiatives like Mozilla. It notes that while over half of internet users are women, they have a low presence in open source projects. The document provides suggestions on how women can contribute to open web technologies through activities like code contributions, documentation, and organizing events, and how to recruit more women through initiatives like WoMoz that promote inclusion and participation.
