Found in Blog / Published 11 December 2014 / By Aimee Whitcroft ,
Over the last month or so, the Govt.nz team have begun to engage more seriously with the API community. We’ve written blog posts, and talked at Open Data Day.

Measuring content improvement
Found in Blog / Published 05 June 2013 / By Alison Jack ,
As part of a presentation I gave today to the Government web community, I talked about turning on the Flesch Reading Ease score function in Microsoft Word.
This tool can help you determine:
how easy or hard text is to read
how difficult the words are — rare words are less well known than our plain English words
how difficult the sentences are — long, complicated sentences cause more difficulty than short, simple sentences.
