How do I know if a project has a good documentation? (jlai.lu)

Hey!

I not good at understanding a project from its code. So, I try as much as I can to understand it from its technical documentation first. But so many time I fell overwhelm by the information: I don't know were to start to read and I don't know how to find a specific information.

How can I know when I'm lacking in understanding the project and when the project is lacking good documentation?
Where should I start while studying a documentation which readme doesn't say "read this next"?

Thank you
