When possible the title of the doc should be as short as reasonably possible. While Diffgram, Open Source, etc. are all fine to mention in the article itself, the title should be as short and readable as possible. Remove filler words when possible.
Use Nested Pages
Readme.com works best with nested docs, otherwise the left panel grows larger and larger
Test Search
The document should come up under expected search terms.
Use Placeholder Pages
Be Aware of Document Order
As we add more documents, documents, and sometimes whole sections get pushed further and further down the page. Consider what a new user sees.
