The first thing that came to my mind is:

  How to use makepkg correctly
    (Running it for pacman-git's PKGCONFIG results in
    ==> ERROR: Install file (pacman.install) does not exist.)

  How to install a package from a file
    One finds this on the wiki, but I would prefer to have it
    available offline

  How to upgrade your system
  How to remove a package
  How to downgrade a package

That's not much for now, but having examples gives a better and
faster insight into the application (git devs did that pretty good).
