The best way, is when you discover the answers to your questions,
write them up on the wiki (wiki.koha.org)
Add to the faq there, or start a new page. The more you write up, the
less others will have to ask the same questions.
If you write it up, then email the list with a link to your write up,
and email nicole and she may be able to add it to the manual for you.
