The Collections you reference for the moment are new and an experiment. There hasn't been much conversation about the subject for the English language project since the new Amusewiki feature came out. It's definitely a works in progress and I haven't made up my mind about it all yet. I'm not the librarian that created the first collection, so perhaps they would like to chime in here with some of their thinking as well. I think it would be a good idea to put the collections feature on pause while we chat about it.
Here are some questions that I was thinking about: What do you like / dislike about collections? Do you think that topics / tags are different than collections? If so, how? How do you define what a collection is? What kind of library collections are out there in the world to compare and contrast with? What are some other anarchist collections you might imagine other than the current "classical" one? If the collections feature seems too "academic" how can this be subverted?
