This guide to curation in community suggests asking yourself questions such as whether the content is actionable, has novel ideas, and inspires action. It's important to consider who you're curating for and their backgrounds, goals, experiences, and needs. Community builders should be aware of the potential power of curation and learn how to use it effectively.
