I don't wish to 'add the straw' on what clearly is a very large
undertaking, but from a recent thread here I would suggest a topic on
unicode and char sets. For anyone new to DBs, not just LC + DBs,
understanding what char set an old DB is using, or what char set to create
a new DB in and how to handle all the situations in between is a hurdle
that has to be crossed particularly if their intended stack is to be
cross-platform. Maybe:

XVIII. Handling Cross-Platform and non-ASCII characters

Good luck and look forward to it's completion.
