Michael should still be able to help you maintain that part of it to
give you more time for the rest of the tutorial. The FAQ could also be a
standalone document, and probably should since it will get rather large.
In particular, the FAQ is missing the answers to the questions about
year-end file management, strategies for importing data from Quicken the
first time. These should be in the manual, of course, but the FAQ should
reference the sections. Another FAQ is handling finances with roommates

Also, the answer to "Is there a batch mode (non-interactive) available
for GnuCash, for building reports, etc?" is not entirely true. How about
gnucash --add-price-quotes file.xac?
