I've been trying to improve on the FRED portal by reorganizing and editing already existing articles, and added some new ones. Now, I have run out of ideas. I don't know what to write about.
Here is a full list of FRED-related articles.

Can anyone give me some suggestions? I was trying to avoid writing about topics that are covered in the official FRED Manual (SEXPs, how to create directives, etc.).

I'd suggest a more detailed explanation of variables. That one often confuses people. I covered the subject in depth in my FAQ but even then some people still don't get it. So it might be worth having someone else explain in more detail so that there is more than one explanation for them.

Some additions and alterations: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Variables
I will write a tutorial mission and submit it to complement this. Here it is: http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Variables_example_mission I'm not sure it will use the most recently uploaded image, though. Please tell me if you see the right version; the one with the gray SEXP-explaining box cropped.
[EDIT]Taking a critical look at your variables tutorial in your FAQ, the "box" metaphor may cause some confusion. There's nothing else that could be a problem.

A spelling error? "If you wanted Command to send a his message five" Sorry for bugging you if it isn't.
-
It would have read "If you wanted Command to send his message...", but I decided to change it "to send a message.", and left the possessive there. So, yes, it's my fault.
[EDIT]Fixed. Anything else, content-wise?

Reading "FRED portal" made me think instantly of Just Another Day 3.
Yeah.
