What about:

@   editing fontlists on UNIX platforms
@   inserting tables into MML files
@   specifying Distiller parameters with PDFmark operators in 
PostScript flows
@   hacking FM 5.5.6 Beta for Linux so it will continue to run beyond 
its expiry date

Let's say someone created a FrameMaker edition of
Trivial Pursuit. What knowledge categories would you
expect it to have?

Master pages
Reference pages
Tables
Paragraph and character formats

I'd also add:
* best practices (like no overrides and importing by reference)
* single-sourcing (variables, conditional text, output formats)
* structure (which I don't use yet, so no specific ideas)

I like the idea of categories related to using the tool
in general, in addition to ones like Karen's that relate
to particular aspects of template use and creation.

* Menu items through the ages, added, moved, dropped
* Keystroke shortcuts for common tasks that you never see asked about 
or discussed, but which exist, such as delete to end of line, 
beginning of line, etc.
* Bugs and wish-list items that have been around the longest time 
without being resolved
* Features added in which release
* Documented commands whose documentation is dropped, but which still 
exist (Freeze Pagination, Open Heroic, PostScript code text frames, 
Split Text Frames, etc.)
* unix command line commands
* Names of all formerly-supported unix platforms and windowing systems
* Features supported on some platforms but not others (screen capture 
and macros on unix, etc.)

I have to say, what really springs to mind is "Frame-opoly", maybe for 
the number of times I personally would end up in jail.
