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.
Yours,
