We use a range of digital fabrication, tech and communication tools to up-skill people with the powers to design and make impact in their own city.\ \ This guide has been compiled by *Big Font* (the communications and outreach team at Fab Lab Barcelona.) It is **based on our experiences** working in design, dissemination, communication and outreach for **education, research and innovation projects**. You may be here as a collaborator, student or interested by-stander. You are welcome to give feedback, suggestions and add your own knowledge. \ \ This is intended as a **basic, helpful guide** for projects that **engage communities, stakeholders and audiences** in **projects for purpose**.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://books.fablabbcn.org/communication-handbook/introduction.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
