Good overall though some of the details were either outdated or incorrect.  It's a hard task because the project and its ecosystem is evolving so quickly.  Even the wiki is starting to show a number of areas needing update -- (e.g., wallet security article).

The wiki has two additional articles:
 - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_bitcoin_works
 - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Introduction

Also, Bitcoin Primer: http://coinlab.com/2011/12/bitcoin-primer

And podcast (though over a year old now): http://www.bitcoinmoney.com/post/2560941112
