For me personally, the best Base introduction was a little tutorial called base_entwurf_einer_datenbank.odt[1] (translated back to English it might read "Base - creating a sample database"). It claims to be a German "polished" translation of issue 28136 [2]. As my impression of the doc team here around is rather good ;) I just want to suggest you to think also of a tutorial-like Guide. Lerning by doing is Not Bad(TM). Of course, the tutorial only covers a very little section of the Base functionality but it enables the reader to work with Base better than any other doc I found. So the first idea could be to extend this tutorial (e.g. how n:m relations are handled in queries, forms and reports). Another idea might be to add some background chapters about database theory, but there are plenty of them around so this does not really seem necessary. Of course, only if you want to take this little tutorial as starting point - it's just a suggestion.
