SPAM
It’d probably be useful to have a section on registration and post spam, along with the various techniques to fight it:

PERMALINKS
Some general stuff on htaccess and pretty permalinks (and how support for different approaches to permalinks vary across hosts):

VERSION DIFFERENCES
It’d also be helpful to have a summary table showing major differences between the different versions, especially for people using plugins and unsure if an upgrade will break their plugins.
For example, version 1.0 uses BackPress plus it uses WordPress’ latest taxonomy stuff. Plus it has a new approach to meta data. So if an 0.9 compatible plugin depends on any of this stuff, it will probably break in 1.0 unless the plugin’s been specifically updated for the latest version.
