Can you point us to the Mono Handbook and the FAQ errors so we can
correct them?  

As things change quickly, we have not had a chance to update everything

Yup, that has been my request about the Monkeyguide on mono-docs-list a
few times.

Am tempted to remove the Monkeyguide from the Mono site until a serious
editorial pass has been done.

If you could start posting bug reports to this list, with concrete urls
that are wrong, that would be a fantastic step.
