Arguments for a collection could be:
1) Perhaps a comprehensive and classified collection of sample documents could spare others such time consuming trials.
a) it is impossible to have a comprehensive collection of documents. There are too many faces ConTeXt has.
b) It is hard to classify the documents. Two possibilities:
Yes, it is hard to classify them (and many other things) if you insist on forcing them into a single, canonical hierarchy. But what if you classified documents on the basis of keywords, or key phrases? Then visitors could either search based on those phrases or browse a keyword index. Of course, that assumes your Wiki software has some means of managing metadata. And you could just make some arbitrary decisions about what materials should be included and how to classify them. Even a very imperfect collection would be more helpful than none. And if people don't like your collection, tell them to start their own.
