Unfortunately, we can't give you an estimate of when more tutorials will land -- the only real answer is "when they're written". One of the embarrasing things about Django's docs is that Tutorial 4 ends with "More tutorials coming soon". It said when *I* started using Django -- 6 years ago. This is definitely something that I would like to see addressed; however, good tutorials are time consuming to write, and nobody has volunteered to write one (there is a draft for a Tutorial 5 that has been waiting for review for a couple of months, however). All the topics you list, and many many more, would be excellent candidates for tutorials. If *anyone* wants to get started with contributing to Django, writing tutorials would be a great way to help out.
