Ideas and examples of collection assessment criteria, gathered from analysis of the resources listed in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313037.

Doc types
For collections focused on a tool or extension:
 * Quick start guide with sample projects such as TODO apps. Should be able to clone the project from GitHub.


 * Tutorials: "animated form of learning that aids imaging things. Help to understand how the flow works."


 * Contact info: to get in touch with experts, ambassadors, mentors, or any human who can help in the topic area.

Content formats

 * Beginners - Live learnings, video + picture format. "I want to learn through memes."
 * Visual learning experience. "MediaWiki has documentation, but reading huge pages is not fun. Videos / Visual learning is useful to get information quickly."

Grouping related content
Landing pages:
 * All documentation in a given collection should link back to a central portal or landing page
 * Creating on-wiki landing pages that link to off-wiki docs.

Transparency

 * Access to documents should NOT be restricted for viewing by target users (aka remove or update permissions as necessary).
