HISTORY | GitHub |
A piece of information is said to be reachable if it is easy to find and access. More specifically, information is reachable if there exists a path to it from the home page of a website (or from a search engine). Making information public by default can help improve reachability.
Encouraging reachability
Taking advantage of reachability is encouraged. When someone asks for some information, instead of just giving the link to the information directly, do this instead:
- Make sure the information is reachable.
- Tell the person how to find this information.
Example
Let’s say someone asks you for an information:
do you have an example of a sponsorship proposal documents?
—person1Instead of…
yep, i remember there’s one for stupid hack 2. lemme find it first.
—person2here you go
—person2Do this instead:
yep, i remember there’s one for stupid hack 2
—person2to find it, go to our website > events > stupid hackathon thailand #2 > organizer notes
—person2there should be a document "information for sponsors" in there
